lyrics
We were kids too scared to run
Burning down back roads for fun
Screaming songs about breaking out
Of this town
Had the plans all figured out
On the back of a postcard
We wrote down
How we’d make our great escape
Someday, far away
We can’t give up now
I won’t let you down
These dreams will never die
And this town won’t
Take me alive
On a highway out of here
Memories in the rear view mirror
Take my hand and promise me
We’ll live this dream
Pack your bag, lets hit the road
No more swearing that we’ll go
I’m so tired of making plans
That never land
All the chains that held me down
Have all but rusted out
And everyones have done the same
But they swear they’re still chained
We can’t give up now
I won’t let you down
These dreams will never die
And this town won’t
Take me alive
I can see it, I can see it
I can see it now
It’s so much closer
No, don’t slow down
I can feel it, I can feel it
I can feel it now
Hold me closer
I won’t wait another minute
Girl, we’re breaking out
No, this town won’t hold us down
We’ll be running, we’ll be running
Until we can’t be found
We can hold our own
Just don’t slow down
On the highway out of here
Memories in the rear view mirror
Take my hand and promise me
We’ll live this dream
On the horizon, city lights
Swear I’ve never seen
Them look so bright
Feels like we’re in a movie scene
On the silver screen
Don’t let this fire fade
Like all those before you
Don’t listen to what they say
Because, they’ll never break through
The road is scary but it’s everything
That you’ve ever wanted
If we don’t leave now
We’ll always be haunted
I can see it, I can see it
I can see it now
It’s so much closer
No, don’t slow down
I can feel it, I can feel it
I can feel it now
Hold me closer
I won’t wait another minute
Girl, we’re breaking out
No, this town won’t hold us down
We’ll be running, we’ll be running
Until we can’t be found
We can hold our own
Just don’t slow down
On the horizon, city lights
Swear I’ve never seen
Them look so bright
Feels like we’re in a movie scene
On the silver screen

Just had to get this on vinyl although I've been listening to this album for a couple of years already.... now it can take it rightful place beside " Endless Summer!"🧔 Knut -Thomas

Memories and Comeback Kid were my first introduction to this band. From then on - I've always gone to the Midnight for easy listening. Waiting for a bus - Standing in line - Going grocery shopping and pretty much everywhere and anywhere. You can listen to this track over and over again and I feel like it doesn't get old. solstra
