Barlow - Cruise lyrics

rate me

Well I backstroked through my high school years<br />

Changing lanes and changing gears<br />

Thought I was invincible<br />

Thinking I could change the world<br />

Cutting classes breaking rules<br />

The learning started after school<br />

You were there we’d slip away<br />

Drive right through the yawning day and...<br />

<br />

Cruise<br />

Never check the review mirror<br />

Cruise<br />

Watch the future getting clearer <br />

Shut your mouth and close your eyes<br />

Put the seat back let me drive and cruise<br />

<br />

With a name tag and a bright blue vest<br />

They put the handcuffs on your wrist<br />

Your careless summer’s been replaced<br />

A smile's a stranger to your face<br />

And my fingers punch the cold white keys<br />

I’m commas and apostrophes<br />

Someday we’ll get out of this<br />

Leave a postcard on the desk and...<br />

<br />

Cruise<br />

Never stop to think about it<br />

Cruise<br />

Not a single doubt about it<br />

Feet don’t ever touch the ground<br />

So high we’re not coming down we cruise<br />

<br />

And my body aches<br />

For the warm embrace<br />

Of a better day<br />

Oh it’s not too late to slip away<br />

Not too late to slip away now
