The Panic Years

10 years of panic
Now I'm stuck here stranded
'Cause I missed the train to get to you
She said: How'd you manage?
In that irish accent
Get in out the rain, your lips are blue

Caught eyes as the lights turn red
And it feels like I'm 18 again

Dublin's on fire
You go deathly quiet
I feel you reaching for my hand
How's your day been?
With so much changing?
Fear is played out by the band
Driving till the speed kicks in
And it feels like this time's different

I'll wait for you if its forever
Till I turn blue, I'll hold my breath for
10 more years of panic
I, I'll be right, we're outstanding
Next to you-uh, you-uh
You-uh, you-uh

Too much pretending (I remember)
We'd always skip the line to get in
Just to leave, go back to yours (just to leave, go back to yours)
Daydream through nightmares
I know they were right there
But I, shook their hands and played the shows

I get drunk and I overshare
But, it feels like something's happening here

I'll wait for you if its forever
Till I turn blue, I'll hold my breath for
10 more years of panic
I, I'll be right, we're outstanding
Next to you-uh, you-uh
You-uh, you-uh

Caught eyes as the lights turn red (ah)
And it feels like I'm 18 again (ah)
Driving till the speed kicks in (ah)
This time feels different (ah)
