Place Like This

You should quit that job that you never liked
Tell your friends youre tired of going out every night
Come and meet me at dark
Dont tell anyone
We could keep on driving till we found somewhere
With so many new faces and love in the air
We wont have to go far
To find what we want
I spend all of my time
Staring at ceilings
Watching em peeling
Never wondering why
I feel so defeated
Whether I need this
Ill be the driver
Youll be the getaway car
Ill be the lighter
Youll be the burns on my arm
I know its hard in a place like this
Growing up somewhere that cant fit ya in
Ill be the pavement
Youll be the foot off the ground
Ill be the basement
Youll be the kids moving out
Running around like our parents did
I know its hard in a place like this
(I know its hard in a place like this)
(I know its hard, I know its hard)
You could fix that smile with some salt in your hair
New clothes and friends with some money to spare
We could go tonight
If thats what you want
And when we run out of patience well go somewhere new
Find a town somewhere we cant pronounce the food
Watch the fading lights
From the restaurant
I spend all of my time
Staring at ceilings
Watching em peeling
Never wondering why
I feel so defeated
Whether I need this
Ill be the driver
Youll be the getaway car
Ill be the lighter
Youll be the burns on my arm
I know its hard in a place like this
Growing up somewhere that cant fit ya in
Ill be the pavement
Youll be the foot off the ground
Ill be the basement
Youll be the kids moving out
Running around like our parents did
I know its hard in a place like this
(I know its hard in a place like this)
(I know its hard , I know its hard)
(I know its hard in a place like this)
(I know its hard, I know its hard)
You should quit that job that you never liked
Tell your friends youre tired of going out every night
Come and meet me at dark
Dont tell anyone
