Maisie Peters The Band and I

Tekst piosenki

[Verse 1]
We played Heads Up in a car in Seattle
Got rock on the radio
You look like a superstar
And Dom got into Juilliard
And I’m really bad at Heads Up, what do you know?
My drummer fell for a girl in a cookie shop
He said he’d make a move and then he went with, „Excuse me?”
Came a boy and left a man
Gotta give it to the band
Greatest one in Oregon (Oregon)

[Pre-Chorus]
And looking back, all I know is

[Chorus]
It was Friday nights, it was video gold
Oh, it was shining lights, it was rock 'n’ roll
It was the band and I on a twelve-bed bus
And it was making it, messin’ it up
It was endless roads in the same old boots
Oh, it was letting go of everything but you
It was the band and I on a twelve-bed bus
If we’re livin’ the dream, I hope we never wake up

[Verse 2]
Snowstorm in the middle of Texas
Called my mother in a Denny’s and lied
Told her I’ve been needing them
Told her you were just a friend
Told her I was homesick
I hadn’t thought of home twice

[Pre-Chorus]
Driving and we drive again to an ocean
And I think I knew it then for a moment

[Chorus]
It was Friday nights, it was video gold
Oh, it was shining lights, it was rock 'n’ roll
It was the band and I on a twelve-bed bus
And it was making it, messin’ it up
It was endless roads in the same old boots
Oh, it was letting go of everything but you
It was the band and I on a twelve-bed bus
If we’re livin’ the dream, I hope we never wake up

[Bridge]
I hope we never wake up
I hope we never wake up
I hope we never wake
Two nights in the El Rey went flying
I’m twenty-one and I feel evergreen
The band go home, I stayed around
You drive around, I stay the night
Guys, I’m pretty sure it’s the American dream

[Verse 3]
It was changing clocks, it was Tina stoned
Oh, it was midnight stops at border control
Yeah, it was powercuts, it was certain doom
It was living in the Little Rock laundry room
Oh, it was breaking down, it was falling in love
In a gas station by the pick-up trucks
In Philadelphia, it was crystal clear
We are the best damn band that’s ever played right here

[Outro]
It was magic, babe, pure and strong
It was the last man standing for the Eagle’s song
It was a far-flown wish when we were young
Now we’re living the dream and I hope we never wake up
