′Cause we've been driving so long

I can′t remember how we got here

Or how we survived so longI'm trying to run from our pride

'Til you set fire to my atmosphere

And I remember how I spent the 23rd

Feeling six feet under

When I′m 30,000 feet in the air

Chasing that sundown

So far East, I′m Westbound

Feeling like the edge of this world is near

But you'll feel better when you wake up

Swear to God I′ll make up

Everything and more when I get back someday

This is more than just a phase, love

Shooting stars all break up

And even though it seems like half the world away

Things will be better in America

Heard the streets are gold there

Maybe I can fly you out of this place someday

Chasing dreams like I'm on Novocaine

Screaming through your airways

Looking back, I almost thought I heard you say

Stay, you′re not gonna leave me

This place is right where you need to be

And why your words gotta mean so much to them

And they mean nothing to me?

So stay, you're not what you′re hearing

'Cause I've been watching you changing

And who said you′re one in a million

Anyway?

′Cause you see only what you want to

Your tunnel vision haunts you

And you can't see what′s wrong

And you keep sleeping through the p.m.

Eyes wide open when you're dreaming

You′re sleepwalking, just keep talking

And maybe you can talk your way out of this deep end

No B plan in your system

Just tell me what you're thinking

I′m scared that you might fall

But you're not

But you're not

And you′ll feel better when you wake up

Taking off your makeup

Sun always seems to wash our fears away

And it′s always shining somewhere

I just gotta get there

And even though it seems like half the world away

Things are better in America

Heard the streets are gold there

Maybe I can fly you out of this place someday

Chasing dreams like I'm on Novocaine

Screaming through your airways

Looking back, I almost thought I heard you say

Stay, you′re not gonna leave me

This place is right where you need to be

And why your words gotta mean so much to them

When they mean nothing to me

So stay, you're not what you′re hearing

'Cause I′ve been watching you changing

And who said you're one in a million

You're so much better than that

(Oh-oh-oh-oh)

You′re so much better than that (oh-oh-oh-oh)

(Oh-oh-oh-oh)

You′re so much better than that (oh-oh-oh-oh)

Stay, you're not what you were hearing (oh-oh-oh-oh)

′Cause I've been watching you changing (oh-oh-oh-oh)

And who said you′re one in a million (oh-oh-oh-oh)

Anyway?

(Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)

And you'll feel better when you wake up

Swear to God I′ll make up

Everything or more when I get back someday

Chasing dreams like I'm on Novocaine

Screaming through your airways

Looking back, I almost thought I heard you say:

"You're so much better than that"
