Nobody ever had a dream round here   But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me   Nobody ever pulls the seams round here   But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me      I've got this energy beneath my feet   Like something underground's gonna come up and carry me   I've got this sentimental heart that beats   But I don't really mind that it's starting to get to me now      Why do you waste my time?   Is the answer to the question on your mind   And I'm sick of all my judges   So scared of what they'll find   But I know that I can make it   As long as somebody takes me home every now and then      Well have you ever seen the lights?   Have you ever seen the lights?      I took a shuttle on a shockwave ride   Where people on the pen pull the trigger for accolades   I took a bullet and I looked inside it   Running through my veins an American masquerade      I still remember grandma Dixie's wake   I've never really known anybody to die before   Red, white and blue upon a birthday cake   My brother, he was born on the fourth of the July and that's all      Why do you waste my time?   Is the answer to the question on your mind   And I'm sick of all my judges   They're so scared of letting me shine   But I know that I can make it   As long as somebody takes me home   (Woo)   Every now and then   Every now and then      You know I see London, I see Sam's Town   Holds my hand and lets my hair down   Rolls that world right off my shoulder   I see London, I see Sam's Town now
