The Panic Years

Ten years of panic Now I'm stuck here stranded 'Cause I missed the train to get to you She say "How'd you manage?" In that Irish accent "Get in out the rain, your lips are blue" Caught eyes as the lights turned red And it feels like I'm 18 again Dublin's on fire You go deathly quiet I feel you reaching for my hand "How's your day been With so much changing?" Fear is played out by the band Driving 'til the speed kicks in And it feels like this time's different I'd wait for you If it's forever 'Til I turn blue I'd hold my breath for 10 more years of panic (panic) I, I'll be right where I'm standing Next to you-ooh-ooh, you-ooh-ooh You-ooh-ooh, you-ooh-ooh Too much pretending (I remember) We'd always skip the line to get in Just to leave, go back to yours (Just to leave, go back to yours) Daydream through nightmares I know, they were right there But I, shook the hands and played the shows I get drunk and I overshare But it feels like something's happening I'd wait for you If it's forever 'Til I turn blue I'd hold my breath for 10 more years of panic (panic) I, I'll be right where I'm standing Next to you-ooh-ooh, you-ooh-ooh You-ooh-ooh, you-ooh-ooh Caught eyes as the lights turned red (ah ah ah) And it feels like I'm 18 again (ah ah ah) Driving 'til the speed kicks in (ah ah ah) This time feels different (ah ah ah)
