[Intro] Keys in the bowl, shoes by the door Clock says eleven, I’m already gone [Verse 1] Mama’s got the chain on, brother’s asleep I slide through the laundry with a secret to keep Black denim jacket, cheap cologne A borrowed set of wheels and a route of my own [Pre-Chorus] The porch light flickers, I duck down low One click of the latch and I’m ready to go [Chorus] Break curfew, burn bright Meet me where the jukebox bites No permission, no alibi We’re not coming home till the morning cries Break curfew, raise hell Leave a message if they call the cell Tonight belongs to you and me Past the locked doors, finally free [Verse 2] There’s a basement club beneath the hardware store Paint peeling off the sign, boots shaking the floor The drummer counts four, the whole room leans Every kid in town has got the same dream [Pre-Chorus] Your watch says midnight, mine says who cares We trade a crooked grin on the basement stairs [Chorus] Break curfew, burn bright Meet me where the jukebox bites No permission, no alibi We’re not coming home till the morning cries Break curfew, raise hell Leave a message if they call the cell Tonight belongs to you and me Past the locked doors, finally free [Guitar Solo] [Bridge] If they ask, we were never there Just two lost sparks in the summer air But when the sunrise finds our tracks We’ll do it all again, no turning back [Final Chorus] Break curfew, burn bright Meet me where the jukebox bites No permission, no alibi We’re not coming home till the morning cries Break curfew, raise hell Leave a message if they call the cell Tonight belongs to you and me Past the locked doors, finally free [Outro] Keys in the bowl, shoes by the door Tomorrow we’ll lie, then sneak out once more
