Stay Out

V6

[Intro - repeating clean guitar riff, dry beat enters after one pass] [Verse 1 - soft, distant vocal] Sun went down behind the trees Warm air coming through my sleeves Someone's mowing down the street Smell of rain and gasoline Porch lights turning one by one Kids stay out to catch the sun I remember doing that Don't know when I stopped [Instrumental - guitar riff repeats] [Verse 2 - same simple melody] There's a plane above the town Little red light blinking down Wonder where it's going to Wonder if they see me too Your old number's in my phone Haven't called it, leave it alone Some things feel better when You don't know How they end [Chorus - simple rising melody, innocent and repetitive] Stay out Stay out Till the streetlights come on Stay out Stay out We don't gotta go home One more hour One more song Stay out Till the streetlights come on [Post-Chorus - guitar riff, soft doubled vocal] Come on Come on Streetlights come on [Verse 3 - slightly warmer vocal] Someone's radio plays low From a window down the road I don't even know the song Still I somehow sing along Sky goes purple, then goes gray Everything looks far away For a minute I forget What year it is And where I've been [Chorus - same melody] Stay out Stay out Till the streetlights come on Stay out Stay out We don't gotta go home One more hour One more song Stay out Till the streetlights come on [Post-Chorus - guitar riff, distant vocal] Come on Come on Streetlights come on [Bridge - drums drop, guitar keeps looping] Maybe nothing really changed Same old houses Different names Same moon hanging Over us Maybe that's enough [Instrumental - main guitar riff, tape warble] [Final Chorus - slightly cracked vocal, still restrained] Stay out Stay out Till the streetlights come on Stay out Stay out Like we did when we were young One more hour One more song Stay out Till the streetlights come on [Post-Chorus - soft doubled vocal] Come on Come on Streetlights come on [Outro - guitar riff alone] They came on We stayed out anyway
