A bit of a cheeseball U2/Coldplay/OneRepublic modern pop-rock kinda thing, with thoroughly cheesy and generic lyrics. But that was kind of exactly what I was writing for this week, so ... mission accomplished!
lyrics
It’s been a long time since the
Sun shone round here
It’s been a long time since the show
And maybe this ain’t been the
Life of Reilly
Nobody’s basking in the glow
But it’s still early and the
Day’s just starting
And I believe we’ve earned the right
To take our chances while we’re
Still so young
I think we’ll still put up a fight
Let’s raise the starlight in the dark
Watch the fireflies light the spark
We should wake up this old town
They oughta see us dance tonight
Roman candles burning bright
they will never drag us down
So if you’re thinking ‘bout some
Night sky neon
I think there’s still a train to catch
somebody left behind a
Half-lit bottle
I think we make a perfect match
So check your mirror
In the rear-view, baby
We gotta leave it all behind
There’s nothing left ahead but
Open road
We’re bringing vision to the blind
Let’s raise the starlight in the dark
Watch the fireflies light the spark
We should wake up this old town
They oughta see us dance tonight
Roman candles burning bright
they will never drag us down
