Night Out

If I grew out my hair I'd have plenty to say

Talking is cheap I've got nothing to do today

A week or two since I've seen my friends

But rest assured it's me not them

And I think we have more potential

Love's never felt so consequential

Give me a second to move a foot ahead

You knew the words before I wrote them

Saved me from perpetual boredom

Give it all up to be a part of my scene

Take the night out if it feels right

We'll go dancing dancing dancing to the sunlight

Maybe drive down to your friend's house

But your parents said be home for the sundown

Let's go drive down the coast get a room in Port Orford

Ditch the routine it's smelling loud in the suburbs

Hair's in my face I've got something to hide me

Holes in my shoes from a life that's behind me

Humming out a familiar tune

Still missing the days when the sky was blue

Can't seem to find an end to all these songs

If you knew the words before I wrote them

You took all your time figuring out all the old ones

Give it all up to be a part of my scene

Take the night out if it feels right

We'll go dancing dancing dancing to the sunlight

Maybe drive down to your friend's house

But your parents said be home for the sundown
