lyrics

I'm at the edge of your driveway.
I wrap my hands 'round the wheel
and slam my foot on the pedal
tonight, I'm breaking out.

My tire treads on the highway
I won't look back in the mirror
tonight I'm pushing the metal
All right, I'm breaking out.

I wanna find a place where every corner isn't a trap
if you're not careful this city will tear the bones from your back
and men in suits will feed you lies like its a matter of fact

Sometimes I think I wanna take the long drive back to the start
and I already feel like someone's put a knife through my heart
cause everything we've built up is taken apart.

A fire's gonna be started
I can feel the fever inside
its burning out of control
I'm raising the stakes of this fight

We'll give them just what they wanted
and they'll hear nothing but the static
on the radio
I'm pulling the breaks out tonight

I know you took every chance you could
it's like the gods flipped a coin
or took a roll of the dice and
I try not to think about

But as I drive through our neighborhood
I just remember the boy
who taught me how to survive it
I don't want to think about it

I remember when you said the past couldn't be erased
and I could tell you meant it by the look you had on your face
but you still took your keys and high-tailed it right out of this place

I know this city's the last place you ever wanted to be
these streets are vicious its just trouble with a capital "T"
and it makes sense that if you left you would forget about me

A fire's gonna be started
I can feel the fever inside
its burning out of control
I'm raising the stakes of this fight

We'll give them just what they wanted
and they'll hear nothing but the static
on the radio
I'm pulling the breaks out tonight


A fire's gonna be started
I can feel the fever inside
its burning out of control
I'm raising the stakes of this fight

We'll give them just what they wanted
and they'll hear nothing but the static
on the radio
I'm pulling the breaks out tonight
