After Lights Out
Watch the headlights sweep the bedroom wall Sneaking down the creaking hall
Past the kitchen where the keys are kept Step by step where
the old dog slept
Cold air hits me on the concrete porch Slipping past the heavy
wooden door The clock is ticking past the midnight line
Another boundary that we left behind
And we are running with our shoes in hand
Underneath the shadows that we planned
We are breaking the curfew tonight
Trading the safety for the morning light
No regrets in the quiet of the street Feeling the asphalt warm
beneath our feet Let the alarm bells sound when we are gone
We're already halfway to the dawn
Headlights off as we coast down the hill
Everything frozen, everything still
They'll find the window unlocked in the room
Leaving a shadow to fade in the gloom
We are breaking the curfew tonight
Trading the safety for the morning light
No regrets in the quiet of the street Feeling the asphalt warm
beneath our feet Let the alarm bells sound when we are
gone
We're already halfway to the dawn
Halfway to the dawn
Before they know we're gone (hummmm)
