2x verse riff Em/Em7
He's driving
she's driving
the lights switch
they become flames
life just flickers out like matchsticks in the rain
that's just how easy I will change your name
I was for you
I wanted you for me
and now I'm gonna get a wild dream
The day turns to light in an instant
the night turns to day in an instant of change
out in the rain and it dies
instrumental:
4 times Em
The day turns to light in an instant
the night turns to day in an instant of change
out in the rain and it dies
2x verse riff Em/Em7
We're soldiers
of emotion
we're running back
to the ocean
the rescue ship has not arrived
the Americans are coming and we will surely die
And I must take you
or you will kill me
that's the way it must be
The day changes light in an instant
the day changes light in a flash in the sky
way on up high and final
end: Em
