Nothing ever happens In our cul-de-sac At the edge of the world We stood and we watched Our cities fade to black No one spoke Lost all our words Went home that night as any other To the same stucco houses lined neatly together Resumed our routines the next morning To school, to work, to home, to bed, to sleep, to nothing Eighty weeks and counting Mondays turn mundane One eighty weeks and counting Sundays feel more dazed Four eighty weeks and counting Still no one speaks, nothing to say Some nights I think About the girl across the street The light she keeps on In the dark's peak Some days I glimpse The girl across the street The looks we exchange When our eyes meet Pebble tap, pebble tap On her window Let's get out of this town Let's drive, let's go But that never happens In our cul-de-sac At the edge of the world We just fade to black

Edge of the world
Nothing ever happens In our cul-de-sac At the edge of the world We stood and we watched Our cities fade to black No one spoke Lost all our words Went home that night as any other To the same stucco houses lined neatly together Resumed our routines the next morning To school, to work, to home, to bed, to sleep, to nothing Eighty weeks and counting Mondays turn mundane One eighty weeks and counting Sundays feel more dazed Four eighty weeks and counting Still no one speaks, nothing to say Some nights I think About the girl across the street The light she keeps on In the dark's peak Some days I glimpse The girl across the street The looks we exchange When our eyes meet Pebble tap, pebble tap On her window Let's get out of this town Let's drive, let's go But that never happens In our cul-de-sac At the edge of the world We just fade to black
