"The Panic Years" lyrics

10 years of panic
Now I'm stuck here stranded
'Cause I missed the train to get to you
She said, "How'd you manage?"
In that Irish accent
"Get in out the rain, your lips are blue"
Caught eyes as the lights turn red
And it feels like I'm 18 again

Dublin's on fire
You go deathly quiet
I feel you reaching for my hand
"How's your day been?
With so much changing?"
Fear is played out by the band
Driving 'til the speed kicks in
And it feels like this time's different

I'll wait for you if its forever
'Til I turn blue, I'll hold my breath for
10 more years of panic (Panic)
I, I'll be right where I'm standing
Next to you, you
You, you

Too much pretending (I remember)
We'd always skip the line to get in
Just to leave, go back to yours (Just to leave, go back to yours)
Daydream through nightmares
I know they were right there
But I, shook the hands and played the shows
I get drunk and I overshare
But, it feels like something's happening here

I'll wait for you if its forever
'Til I turn blue, I'll hold my breath for
10 more years of panic (Panic)
I, I'll be right where I'm standing
Next to you, you
You, you

Caught eyes as the lights turn red (Ahh)
And it feels like I'm 18 again (Ahh)
Driving 'til the speed kicks in (Ahh)
This time feels different (Ahh)
