[Verse 1]
Richie and Austen are often along for the ride
They don’t say a lot, but they know every inch of this drive
If these trees started talking, I bet you they’d only talk s*it
‘Cause we never do anything real, we just talk about it
Ending of August, the bugs are just starting to die
All the neighbors are voting for someone who wins every time
And I thought getting older meant knowing it’s too late to try
And I tried getting sober, I swear I did bettеr this time

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, hm

Ooh, hm
Ooh, hm
Ooh, hm

[Chorus]
Oh, everything you see out hеre will die
Oh, it’s a matter of time
‘Til it’s fields of ice and reflector lights
‘Til it’s our town, mm

[Verse 2]
And anything you need, I will provide
A ride home or an alibi
I know the traffic light you can speed right by
‘Cause the camera’s down
And I follow New York plates to the county line
I ignore ’em when they wave on 89
The minute that September hits
I’m going off my medicine, oh
Late August angst and a pointless night
Oh and the feeling of being alive
For the first time in a long time

[Bridge]
Oh, we’re a drawing of a place

We’re a photo on the fridge
They mined copper for years
Oh, there was nothing left to dig
It’s a place where most kids
Just grow up and have kids
Who grow up and have kids
Who build homes for the rich, oh

[Chorus]
Oh, everything you see out here will die
Oh, it’s a matter of time
‘Til it’s fields of ice and reflector lights
‘Til it’s our town

[Post-Chorus]
‘Til it’s our town
‘Til it’s our town
And it’s our town
‘Cause it’s ours now

[Outro]
