Caught in a summer swell 
Shaped like time and [bad word] as [bad word] 
There ain’t no one left around 
Just you and me in this hopeless town 

Were they lying through their teeth? 
When they said we could be anything 
Well know we’re as good as ghosts 
Endless roads nowhere to go 

(Bless the ones / That got away) 
(Because Heaven knows / We can’t stay) 

You and I were doomed 
Grew up way too soon 
Curse and [bad word] all night 
Be gone with morning light 

Driving father’s [bad word] around 
Keep that engine roaring now 
Faster than that siren sound 
Breaking down, darling let me out 

(Bless the ones / That got away) 
(Because Heaven knows / We can’t stay) 

You and I were doomed 
Grew up way too soon 
Curse and [bad word] all night 
Be gone with morning light
