lyrics

This old town, it knows exactly where we’ve been
Street corner reminders of all our conquests and our sins
Now, the storefronts, they all sit empty and decayed
While our memories, they rest here just the same

Because these streets are filled with ghosts best left alone
You know I think we’d be better off gone
Let these wheels turn, the horizon will be our home
You know I think we’d be better off gone

Streetlights all busted, they got us living in the dark
I know there’s a light out there, we just gotta find the spark
And there’s no future when we’re dwelling on the past
There’s a whole world’s out there, let’s go and make our path

These streets are filled with ghosts best left alone
You know I think we’d be better off gone
Let these wheels turn, the horizon will be our home
Yeah, I think we’d be better off gone

Better off gone from these streets that hold the memories
Of everyone who left before, left us all behind
These streets where our dreams crashed and burned
Lessons we had to learn to make it out alive

These streets are filled with ghosts best left alone
You know I think we’d be better off gone
Let these wheels turn, the horizon will be our home
Yeah, I think we’d be better off gone
