Eight tired eyes stare squinting through the early morning sunrise Twenty-three more exits 'til we're far from home Arguments and stupid fights As stop signs turn to city lights We try to conquer boredom with the radio Then the lights go up and everything will change They're screaming "Hey we want an anthem. Something we can be proud of" Sing it louder into the mic Then k** the amps and say goodnight On empty streets we're free to roam The late nights and the long calls home Familiar sounds across the line Homesick smiles As each day comes to an end Perfect strangers become friends It's safe to say I miss you more with every mile They're screaming "Hey we want an anthem. Something we can be proud of" Sing it louder into the mic We look to you to find the answers to our problems So make it right Then k** the amps and say goodnight It's safe to say I miss you Mile apart won't separate us Time apart can't make this change
