Candy Stripes Lyrics

Waves of sorrow, begged and borrowed

Lost and lonely, I'm fading away

When you look at me so

There's lightning, thunder

And you make me wonder

How you make it okay

The roads are calling for us

They wanna see us dancing

See us clear a way into the night

Give them a run for riches

Both as one and nothing

As the vision becomes a sight

Hand in hand becoming what we want to see

I see it every day

Now that I'm leaving

I'm just a stowaway

In their candy stripes

I see it every day

Now that I'm leaving

I'm just a stowaway

In their candy stripes

We're trying to run away from

All the hopeful alleyways

All the signals turning green when we wanna stop

They can't make us come back

To their ever-pretty maze

I got dirt on my face and they've got candy stripes

We're not one for comfort, we're never gonna be their type

I got dirt on my face and they've got candy stripes

And all the stuff you wanted

Hon, it's never worth the hype

I got dirt on my face and they've got candy stripes

Hand in hand becoming what we want to see

The other me's exactly who I need to be

Know that getting out is how we will be free

Running away, it's you and me

(The person you are calling is currently unavailable. Please leave a message after the tone.)

I see it every day

Now that I'm leaving

I'm just a stowaway

In their candy stripes

I see it every day

Now that I'm leaving

I'm just a stowaway

In their candy stripes
