lyrics

There's a big red moon hanging over 71
With you wincing your eyes it kinda felt like the sun
Yeah, the show was a blast, but I ain't sticking around
'Cuz crashing in Columbus, it always gets me down
I could give you a ride, and I think I've seen you around
From those days back in school all lost in respective crowds
And if you don't want to talk, I won't make a sound
We could throw on a mix, and just crank it all loud

And she said, "I really love that song"

I ask: why is every song better when it's random on the radio
Or every girl funnier if she's a shadow of where you used to go?
Yeah, I could drop you home in Canton and sleep like a log
Or take 76 to Akron, go out and get bombed
And a second leg in Cleveland feels a little too far
And the bask of that red light, it could pass for any other star

Maybe we could just hang in the car

I think we started talking when "Come on Eileen" came on
Our handclaps went in unison when "Blister in the Sun" came on
We were gushing over gorgeous driving weather
When "All the Young Dudes" came on
We dropped all our plans together when "All my Friends" came on

And she said, "I really love that song"

There's a big red moon hanging over 71
With you wincing your eyes it kinda felt like the sun
