  • She's wearing an old dress
    Walkin' it out
    Waiting for someone to turn her around
    But she won't believe you
    When you fall down on your knees

    She fell asleep listening to my friends
    Talking on and on about how the world ends
    Then she wakes up and climbs in my front seat
    And she said

    Don't you wait to try it
    Are you scared to find it?
    And do you want to take my broken heart?
    Are you scared to start?

    Let's lay in the dead grass
    Stare at the stars
    Run away and live out of cars and bars
    Let's just leave here
    'Cause there's nothing left to see
    And if that's wrong, let's make it right
    And if you leave just give me one more night
    'Cause there's no one
    That you'll find that's quite like me
    And she said

    Don't you wait to try it
    Are you scared to find it?
    And do you want to take my broken heart?
    Are you scared to start?

    You don't need a paycheck, don't need the rent
    You can take it all 'cause it's already spent
    We can burn out
    Just as long as we burn bright
    And she said

    Don't you wait to try it
    Are you scared to find it?
    And do you want to take my broken heart?
    And will you ever heal from all these scars?
    And did you have to take it all so far?

    Are you scared to start? Writer/s: Andrew Yorio, Michael Marcagi
