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 July and that´s all

So 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
Every now and then
Every now and then

You know I see London, I see Sam´s Town
Holds my hand and let´s my hair down
Rolls that world right off my shoulder
I see London, I see Sam´s Town now
