Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] Richie and Austen are often along for the ride They don't say a lot, but they know every inch of this drive If these trees started talkin', I bet you they'd only talk shit 'Cause we never do anythin' real, we just talk about it Endin' of August, the bugs are just startin' to die All the neighbors are votin' for someone who wins every time And I thought gettin' older meant knowin' it's too late to try And I tried gettin' sober, I swear I did bettеr this time [Pre-Chorus] Ooh, hm Ooh, hm Ooh, hm Ooh, hm [Chorus] Oh, everythin' you see out hеre will dieOh, it's a matter of time 'Til it's fields of ice and reflector lights 'Til it's our town, mm [Verse 2] And anythin' you need, I will provideA ride home or an alibi I know the traffic light you can speed right by'Cause the camera's down And I follow New York plates to the county lineI ignore 'em when they wave on 89 The minute that September hitsI'm goin' off my medicine, oh Late August angst and a pointless nightOh, and the feelin' of bein' aliveFor the first time in a long time [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] Oh, we're a drawin' of a place We're a photo on the fridge They mined copper for years Oh, there was nothin' left to dig It's a place where most kidsJust grow up and have kidsWho grow up and have kids Who build homes for the rich, oh [Chorus] Oh, everythin' you see out here will dieOh, it's a matter of time 'Til it's fields of ice and reflector lights 'Til it's our town [Post-Chorus] 'Til it's our town 'Til it's our town And it's our town 'Cause it's ours now [Outro] 05072A long shadow
