[Verse 1]
This town will Cnever change
People come and go, it's Gall the same
Speed the roads on our Cdoubting days
To any place that's Gfar away
I never learned Canybody's name
We all vowed that Gwe wouldn't stay
Kissing signs on the Cinterstate
All we do for now is Gsit and wait
[Pre-Chorus]
CAh, in our idle Gtown. ACh, in our idle toGwn
[Chorus]
Yeah, Amwe invent our own little gGames (in our idle town)
When the Amlights out at the stadium fGade (in our idle town)
MAmaking life a spinning arcGade (in our idle town)
CAnd curfew's at midnight, Gwe watch the sunrisCe
GWe watch the sunriseC  
GWe watch the sun
[Verse 2]
Springtime when the Cair is thin
We're getting antsy and they're Gnoticing
While everybody's off Cpartying
We're watching stars over Gice-cream
And now we're kicking up to Cseventh gear
And we're breathing in the Gatmosphere
And I don't even need a Csip of beer
Yeah, I can feel Git all
[Pre-Chorus]
CAh, in our idle Gtown. ACh, in our idle toGwn
[Chorus]

GWe watch the sunriseC  
GWe watch the sun
[Bridge]
  CAnd they watched thGe sunrise
Blinking out of red Ceyes, and Gsore minds
  CThe airplanes keep Gflying by, and they cCry
'Cause they've never even Gtouched the sky
 CNo, they'll never even Gtouch the sky

[Verse 1]

This town will never change

People come and go, it's all the same

Speed the roads on our doubting days

To any place that's far away

I never learned anybody's name

We all vowed that we wouldn't stay

Kissing signs on the interstate

All we do for now is sit and wait

[Pre-Chorus]

C G C G

Ah, in our idle town. Ah, in our idle town

[Chorus]

Am G

Yeah, we invent our own little games (in our idle town)

Am G

When the lights out at the stadium fade (in our idle town)

Am G

Making life a spinning arcade (in our idle town)

C G C

And curfew's at midnight, we watch the sunrise

G C

We watch the sunrise

We watch the sun

[Verse 2]

Springtime when the air is thin

We're getting antsy and they're noticing

While everybody's off partying

We're watching stars over ice-cream

And now we're kicking up to seventh gear

And we're breathing in the atmosphere

And I don't even need a sip of beer

Yeah, I can feel it all

[Pre-Chorus]

The idle town will stay as it stays (in our idle town)

And everyone I love's in this place (in our idle town)

The curfew's at midnight

We watch the sunrise
