Eight tired eyes stare squinting through the early morning sunrise   Twenty-three more exits 'til we're far from home   Arguments and stupid fights   As stop signs turn to city lights   We try to conquer boredom with the radio      Then the lights go up and everything will change      They're screaming "Hey we want an anthem.   Something we can be proud of"   Sing it louder into the mic   Then kill the amps and say goodnight      On empty streets we're free to roam   The late nights and the long calls home   Familiar sounds across the line   Homesick smiles   As each day comes to an end   Perfect strangers become friends   It's safe to say I miss you more with every mile      They're screaming "Hey we want an anthem.   Something we can be proud of"   Sing it louder into the mic   We look to you to find the answers to our problems   So make it right   Then kill the amps and say goodnight      It's safe to say I miss you      Mile apart won't separate us   Time apart can't make this change
