Cigarette ash on a borrowed car seat
Freeway signs, a language we can't read
The speakers are blown, just a wall of noise
Making bad decisions with my favorite boys
We're just burning daylight, chasing the sun down
Screaming old songs at the edge of town
Got no money, honey, but we own this place
A beautiful mistake on your smiling face
Gas station coffee, tastes like yesterday
You draw a heart on the dusty window pane
Pretend we're running from something we can't name
Just to feel the fire, just to play the game
We're just burning daylight, chasing the sun down
Screaming old songs at the edge of town
Got no money, honey, but we own this place
A beautiful mistake on your smiling face
Pull over now, kill the engine's drone
Just the crickets and the static from your telephone
For a second there, the world felt less alone
Yeah, for a second there, it almost felt like home
Burning daylight...
Chasing the sun down...
Yeah, a beautiful mistake...
Just a beautiful mistake...
