Lyrics
Stop in the old bar with your brother and your mate
Two in the morning, it's not that late
Roll up to the bar, catch the bartender's eye
She asks what you're drinking but before you can reply
From the corner of your vision sat by the window
You spot a face you used to know
Your spine chilled a shudder, your face fully flush
You turn 'round from those bright bar neons in a rush
A stuttered excuse that you all know's untrue
And you're back out the door with the rest of the crew
And the truth was you loved her but she was immature
But looking back you blame yourself more
So oh-oh, as you drive these dark city streets, as empty and cold as you feel
This town was abandoned so long ago, why're all these ruins still here?
Later on in the backseat of your brother's winter car
A cold Genny twelve-pack standing in for the bar
Your mate's cracking you up with a story he's told
A thousand times or more but it never gets old
But that all goes silent when from your radio
Comes a guitar riff that you all know
You yell, "Oh my god, that's-", your brother says, "Dude, shut up"
But it's drowned out by the volume going all the way up
You yell, "These guys were much better," between singing along
"When Robby got as many songs on the albums as John
And we used to go down to the old bar and hear 'em play
But then they got big and Johnny moved to LA"
So oh-oh as the stars roll by your window, and over this dead city glow
Ruins of the lives lived here long ago, preserved frozen covered in snow
What gave them the right to just leave us here, what gave her the right to leave you?
Your brother stops the car down by the lake and you all step out to admire the view
It's past 4 and they've closed the bars, she's probably out looking at these same stars
And your cigarette burns like a star on the hood of your brother's winter car
