Lyrics
High Dive
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I took the train home, facing backwards
Another hopeless chase
Echo park, indian summer
I wrote a new song
About your new life
Like steps I retrace
Block letters in your little black notebook
Yeah
Flashbacks get me close
I'm almost there
Headlight in the driveway
You stand in the window waiting
The stars are out tonight
One million fires burning
Out there on the high dive
You dance with your headphones on
And I could watch you all night long
Dancing to someone else's song
Oh, dancing to someone else's song
Oh, dancing to someone else's
Black jacket, a blue motorbike
Pass the mission in the moonlight
Teenagers in the alley kissing
Smell the gas burn, saw your street sign
Doing 80 in a 45
Throwing shadows you could hear if you listen
Flashbacks get me close
I'm almost there
Headlight in the driveway
You stand in the window waiting
The stars are out tonight
One million fires burning
Out there on the high dive
You dance with your headphones on
And I could watch you all night long
Dancing to someone else's song
Oh, dancing to someone else's song
Oh, dancing to someone else's
Oh
Oh, oh
Oh
Oh, oh
Flashbacks get me close
But I'm staring at someone else's
Headlights in your driveway
You stand in the window waiting
The stars are out tonight
One million fires burning
Meet me on the high dive
You dance with your headphones on
So I could watch you all night long
Dancing to someone else's song
Oh, dancing to someone else's song
Oh, dancing to someone else's song
Someone else's song
To someone else's song
To someone else's
Someone else's
Someone else's
