[Verse 1]
C#mStreet lights swaying in the Ewind at night
The Afreeway's feeling like paraEdise
No, G#mtime won't change itC#m  
ACan't erase itB  
It's a C#mlong drive home, we can Epass the time

C#mI remember that night Elike it was the first time
G#mTwo of us caught in the undertow
F#mEverything you said C#mechoing in my head
BBack and forth into the afterglow

C#mI took a beating last Etime we talked
Still Aadding up the costs of the Echeap shots
No, G#mtime won't change itC#m
