Lyrics

Sunoco

[Verse 1]

Paint a picture of it, little anarchist

Making movies on his dad's camera

He's turning eighteen, looks like twenty-three

Buying Forties with his fake ID

[Pre-Chorus]

I was a lightning rod

And I never felt so lost

[Chorus]

Doing donuts in the parking lot

Me and my friends, we'll never get caught

6 a.m. and I feel like I'll never leave this place alive

But I swear I'm gonna die on my feet

Never come back to these upstate streets

I'm seeing my future and I feel like I'm getting high off the neon glow

Standing at the crossroads

Herе at the Sunoco

(Ooh-ooh)

[Verse 2]

Pack of cigarettes, Codе Red Mountain Dew

Yellow fingertips around her waist, I

Comb my hair over my, over my widow's peak

Chili Peppers on my car speakers

[Pre-Chorus]

I was so camouflaged

And I never felt so lost

[Chorus]

Doing donuts in the parking lot

Me and my friends, we'll never get caught

6 a.m. and I feel like I'll never leave this place alive

But I swear I'm gonna die on my feet

Never come back to these upstate streets

I'm seeing my future and I feel like I'm getting high off the neon glow

Standing at the crossroads

Here at the Sunoco

Here at the Sunoco, oh-oh

[Bridge]

And I'm trying my best

But I can't win

Trying to keep all my secrets in

But your hand on my chest

And the heat of my skin

Brings me right back there again

[Chorus]

Doing donuts in the parking lot

Me and my friends, we'll never get caught

6 a.m. and I feel like I'll never leave this place alive

But I swear I'm gonna die on my feet

Never come back to these upstate streets

I'm seeing my future and I feel like I'm getting high off the neon glow

Standing at the crossroads

Here at the Sunoco

[Outro]

(Ooh-ooh)

(Ooh-ooh)

(Ooh)
