"Northern Skyline" lyrics

Scraping skies with shirts and ties and I can feel you waste away
The bets are long, I wanna get it wrong with you
It's such a goddamn beautiful day

To hell with red lights, driving on
An open cage, this bird is gone
But I can't leave this town if you're not with me
I've been fighting boredom and routing
I'll trade the white for forest green
But I can't leave this town if you're not with me we'll see
I'm lost

Crimson skies, drinking my oceans dry
Not where the salt paints colors grey
It clouds your eyes
Take what hasn't died with you
I've got a map, sleep all the way

To hell with red lights, driving on
An open cage, this bird is gone
But I can't leave this town if you're not with me
I've been fighting boredom and routing
I'll trade the white for forest green
But I can't leave this town if you're not with me I'm lost

I marked a place worth going to
(Cue the brightest moon, kill the city lights now)
The coast is clear, an amazing view
(Cue the brightest moon, kill the city lights now)
We've got your luck to see us through
(Cue the brightest moon, kill the city lights now)

We'll keep on running through the warning signs
It beats sitting here all the time
And at the crosstown disappear behind the northern skyline
