It's the first day of a new year
The last day it's so clear
We're better off dead
At least that's what I said

As I swept up the broken glass
The pavement, the blades of grass
From the night before
We were just two bodies on the floor

I did what I was told
Now I just want to write
My own thunder road
But where did it go?

When I don't believe in Chevrolet
I don't believe in brighter days
I don't believe we get away
We just say we got away

Because we're caught here, beneath this broken thumb
Our eyes glazed, our bodies numb
With hearts on fire
'Cause this heart's on fire

And I don't believe in these two lanes, no one believes in broken chains
You can throw your roses in the rain, hide in bed with your holy pain
Let it fill your eyes
But just put down the disguise
We were born to run from prying eyes

Take it as far as you can go
Your own thunder road
Yeah, imagine my surprise
Take it as far as you can go
Our own thunder road

So I swept up the broken glass
I held it up and I had to ask
Where was I supposed to go?
Where were we supposed to go?

I don't blame you, for letting go
We are the ghosts in the eyes of those boys who fell
It's all we know
It's all we know
It's all we know

Take it as far as you can go
Our own thunder road
Where were we supposed to go?

So I swept up the broken glass
On hands and knees, you didn't even ask
Just please don't leave
Please don't leave
And I'll try to believe
