lyrics

My new sunglasses look good on you
They block out more bright, you like 'em too
These foolish shades match your foolish shoes
My new sunglasses look good on you

In the tank top summer night, the fast lane is full
I'm driving alone to the drifting moon
Who else out on the road is wondering if they're the fool?
Who else on this hardened highway is heading home soon?
Turning back, back home to sing

I left her on the porch tonight, in the heat of a hollow fight
We just needed some time to cool
By the driveway, she came to say "we get crazy here but never cruel"
I said "Babe you got that right. We're irrational but we're no fools"
I turn the key. I'll be back to sing

Lovers rise, lovers fall, yeah lovers make mistakes
But tomorrow when I pick you up, we'll laugh off all our troubled turns
We'll drive, we'll sing
