[Verse 1]
The long walk home back to a no name town
Where people pass me by in, in red and white lines
Your only son can't make you proud
The moon and stars, this frozen clock

[Verse 2]
And if in years to come we can talk like friends
Can I close my eyes, and wake up then?
And if in years to come we can talk like friends
Can I close my eyes, and wake up then?

[Bridge]
Drown out the sounds of adulthood
With songs that fell from outer space
At seventeen, I wouldn't dare to dream
Because hope's a dangerous thing, hope's a dangerous thing
I won't thank God, I'll thank my friends
For sticking by till we're home again
What matters most to me belongs to you
Because hope's a dangerous thing, hope's a dangerous thing

[Outro]
I pinch myself to see
That if this curtain drops, this isn't me
Pack my bags, no time to waste
We leave no trace of us, still my pillow rings
I pinch myself to see
That if this curtain drops, this isn't me
Pack my bags, no time to waste
We leave no trace of us, still my pillow rings
Still my pillow rings
