Confidence of Youth

In the back of a club
There's a ghost of a look we exchanged long ago
We were only half our age
While we danced to distorted guitar
Playing four sad chords
To eternal looping bass

I liked the way you stood for something
Picked up your call to come and bail you out
We were going to break
The sky wide open
But in the end
The confidence of youth would take us down

In the back of a Chevy sedan
There's a ghost of a ray that we stole from the barely breaking dawn
And it's caught in the fabric of time
Like the strand of a hair on the seat back that tells on us

I liked the way you stood for something
Picked up your call to come and bail you out
We were going to break
The sky wide open
But in the end
The confidence of youth would take us down

I liked the way you stood for something
Picked up your call to come and bail you out
We were going to break
The sky wide open
But in the end
The confidence of youth would take us down
