[LYRICS]
We drove all night
To Leave this town
On the road
The stars are out
The music’s up
The windows down
Me and you
We’re fire now
The way you look
By my side
We’re 17
In our minds
A teenage crush
Wind in your hair
Instant rush
Gotta take me there
Just drive me in your car
Just drive me oh so fast
Just drive me in your car
We’ll never be apart

Ride

[LYRICS]
Driving in the dark
Riding next to you
Driving through the night
Like we used to do
A little too fast, ooh
Nobody’s here to see
A shot in the dark, ooh
This night is for you & me
ooh, I want to ride with you….x 2
Driving in the dark
headlights on the sea
Shadows in the night
Where you used to be
A little bit lost, ooh
Running on memories
Out on the road
But Nobody’s here with me

California

[LYRICS]
Close your eyes tell me something
Just like when we were young
Since you left California
I haven’t seen the sun
So I’ve been killing time
Filling up my mind
Thinking bout the things that you said
So Darlin’ I’ve been down
Every road in town
Trying to get you outta my head….
In california
Hey, It’s me
I just wanted to let you know
That I miss you
Call me sometime
So I’ve been killing time
Filling up my mind
Thinking bout the things that you said
So Darlin’ I’ve been down
Every road in town
Trying to get you outta my head….
In california
I’ve been killing time
Filling up my mind
Thinking bout the things that you said

[LYRICS]
Baby, I go dancing, every Friday night
I see you in the corner, underneath the lights
But my, heart it’s stops beating
When I’m close to you
Like my 808 repeating
1982
Baby you’re so cool
And when you look at me
Darling its so cruel
Nobody else can see
baby, when you look at me
Baby, I go driving, driving late at night
I see you in the window, I go back in time
but my heart it stops beating
When I’m close to you
And my head it is reeling
by everything you do
Cause Baby you’re so cool
And when you look at me
Darling its so cruel
Nobody else can see
baby, when you look at me
Baby when you look
Baby when you look
Baby when you look at me
Baby you’re so cool…

Closer

[LYRICS]
Oh darling, did I get a little closer?
to you? Did I get a little closer?
and all of those nights
I lay by your side
and all of those times
did I get a little closer, to you?
oh darling, yeah I get a little older
When you, put your head on my shoulder,
And all of those nights
I saw your light
yeah all of those times
did i get a little closer, to you?
all the talking
all the dancing
all the walking
all the chances that I used
all the crying
all the laughing
Did I ever get to you?
closer, closer, closer, did i get a little closer

Magnets

[LYRICS]
Close your eyes and count to ten
Breathe before we talk again
All we do is scream & shout
This love has turned us inside out
Somehow I can’t stop that doubt
Forces that we can’t see
Are acting out on you and me
With bruises upon my heart
they make me feel like I can’t breathe
Like magnets we push and pull
We clash until we’re black and blue
Bad habits like gravity
They bring me back to you
Take me back to when we met
Strangers playing hard to get
A rush of blood inside these veins
Takes control of me again
Here I go again
I can’t stay away
Here we go again
Hold me like back then

The Boys Of Summer

[LYRICS]
Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer's out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets
The sun goes down alone
I'm driving by your house
Though I know you're not home
I can see you
Your brown skin shining in the sun
You got your hair combed back
And those sunglasses on, baby
And I can tell you my love for you will still be strong
After the boys of summer have gone
Never will forget those nights
I wonder if it was a dream
Remember how you made me crazy
Remember how I made you scream
Now I don't understand what happened to our love
But, baby, when I get you back
I'm gonna show you what I'm made of

Motel

[LYRICS]
I don’t know what I came here for
Some kind of crisis, I’m not sure
I could be anyone here
I could do anything
Like I don’t dance but I heard a beat
Had to move my body, move my feet
Oh I lost myself
I was someone else
And ooooh I was free
All I could afford was this old motel
As close to the city as I could get
A tiny room with a single bed
All I could afford was this old motel
they gave me room without a view
The perfect place
To forget you
Oh I lock my door, I don’t know this town
Get back before the night comes down
They could do anything here
I don’t trust anyone
Except one night I went out instead
And fell into a stranger’s bed
It’s not like me
It was therapy
And ooooh I was free
All I could afford was this old motel
As close to the city as I could get
A tiny room with a single bed
All I could afford was this old motel
they gave me room without a view
The perfect place
To forget you
