Arcade

We'd been driving in circles just trying to learn our way around
You said "isn't this perfect, already lost in our new town"
Half asleep in the passenger seat with the window up
Half a dream thrown away like an old paper cup

You know they built a casino right at the spot where we won the war
Hell, what do we know, maybe a little luck was worth fighting for
I hate to say it, but I'd take my chances, watch 'em roll away
I'd hate to admit what I'd be ready to do
To get us back to better days

It's quiet in this place we made
Waiting underneath the arcade
Gotta believe we're not the only ones
Everyone's a stranger
So do your best to show them where you're from
Got my mind wide open
Hoping for those better days to come

Something in the water, I could never learn to imitate it
But now we don't bother knowing who is new and who is native
There's a spot we found around the back where they'll just let you be
There's a place that we learned to call home
'cause it's got you and it's got me

It's quiet in this place we made
Waiting underneath the arcade
At least by now we've seen it all before
When everyone's a stranger
There's no point in changing anymore
Got my eyes wide open
But I can't remember what I'm looking for

Sometimes I hear a whisper from an old familiar song
Words I can't remember but a feeling that I'm hanging on
Something that we found turned into a calling
But roots into the ground couldn't keep us from falling
You can only see the half of it, it's deeper than the light goes
But I'd bring so much back from it, and shake it till it echoes
Echoes come reflecting back again off our mistakes
That's when you hear the whisper turn into a hurricane
It turns into a hurricane
It turns into a hurricane
It turns into a hurricane
It turns into a hurricane
It turns into a hurricane
It turns into a hurricane
It turns into a hurricane
A hurricane
A hurricane
A hurricane
