lyrics

My bus pass expired in May
I kept riding anyway
The driver winks, looks away
Some rules bend on a good day

This town's a sweater sized too small
I've been itching since last fall
You pulled up, radio loud
Said one word and I was out

We could be gone by morning
We could be gone by the light
We could be gone — no warning
We could be gone tonight
Gone, gone — say the word
Gone like a spooked-up bird

Blue slushie melts on the dash
Forty bucks of birthday cash
You laugh, I laugh, the tires splash
Every mile's a lit-up match

We could be gone by morning
We could be gone by the light
We could be gone — no warning
We could be gone tonight
Gone, gone — say the word
Gone like a spooked-up bird

I'm not running scared
I'm just running bright
Every streetlight swears
We were right, we were right

We could be gone by morning
We could be gone by the light
We could be gone — no warning
We could be gone tonight
Gone, gone — say the word
Gone like a spooked-up bird

Gone, gone by morning
Gone, gone tonight
