"the van" lyrics

Ba-ba-da, ba-ba-da
Ba-ba-da, ba-ba-da-da
Ba-ba-da, ba-ba-da
Ba-ba-da, ba-ba-da-da

Left the house years ago
Here's the story of a kid in his shadow
He just didn't wanna be lonely
We started to fly, then she got sick
Pulled up and down and spun out real quick
He just didn't wanna be lonely

I pulled into a Wawa in Philly in 2000
Blue Magic coming from the speaker at the gas pump
All Jersey kids, we never learn to pump gas
So we sat there with the soundtrack
Now I'm on the way, in firehouse, glory days
Parked the van, spun through vehicle
Then those drive-thru years really went slow
Wawa lights in the rear view was making it

We parked the van [?]
That's the story 'bout kids and their shadows
Who just didn't wanna be lonely
That's why I still sing
Glory to the ones who know the van, oh, oh, oh
Glory to the ones on the edge
I just don't wanna be lonely, I just don't wanna be

I think some of us needed to chip away what we don't understand
Slowly combing over it
Slowly getting under it
'Cause there's no getting over it
So we drove back from the west with our new religion
One-way tickets in heart and in hand
Said fuck anything in my way, this is forever now
And just like that, everything changed (Cut off the lights)
I just don't wanna be lonely, I just don't wanna be
That's the thing about loving your shadow

Years from then, I left the house
Saw her standing on a rooftop
She said, "I just don't wanna be lonely" (I just don't wanna be)
I said, "I just don't wanna be lonely" (I just don't wanna be)
She said, "I just don't wanna be lonely"
