High Beams

Do you really wanna feel this way?
Would you rather stay and make this
night and make this night about us?
She was yelling right into my ear,
But she smelled like fish and said,
"How could you wanna be without us?"
And like everything I thought I knew,
It turned out true before I got to think about it.
I was spinning like a skinny dime
On borrowed time, but I learned my lines without it.

These old pantomimes, well
They keep me up at night ...

But then I knew like knew on the day that we met,
Like I was leaning on a jukebox looking at Joan Jett.
And I heard somebody holler, "Hey, get out of my dreams!"
Oh, when you see me, baby, please put on your high beams.
Put on your high beams.
Put on your high beams.
Put on your, well put on your, your ...

And if you're really gonna kill the day down,
Why not say by now she was really a charlaton?
Yeah, she was pacing like a raging bull,
With her heart half full of hurt, half full of doubtin'.
And like everything I thought I had,
It turned out bad
Before I got to think about it.
I was living on the lunar line with borrowed wrongs,
But I burnt my time without it.

These old pantomimes
Keep me up at night ...

But then I knew like knew on the day that we met,
Like I was leaning on a jukebox looking at Joan Jett.
And I heard somebody holler, "Hey, get out of my dreams!"
Oh, when you see me, baby, please turn on your high beams.
Would you put on your high beams.
Put on your high beams.
Would you put on your, put on your, put on your high beams.
Put on your high beams.
Put on your high beams.
Put on your high beams.

Do you really wanna feel this way,
Or would you rather stay and make
this night and make this night about us?
(What about us?)
What about us?
(What about us?)
Hey, what about us?
(What about us?)
Oooh, what about us?
