All those wasted hours we used to know
Spent the summer staring out the window
The wind, it takes you where it wants to go
First they built the road, then they built the town
That's why we're still driving around and around
And all we see are kids in buses longing to be free

Wasted hours before we knew where to go and what to do
Wasted hours that you made new and turned into a life that we can live

Some cities make you lose your head
Endless suburbs stretched out thin and dead
And what was that line you said
Wishing you were anywhere but here
You watch the life you're living disappear
And now I see, we're still kids in buses longing to be free

Wasted hours before we knew where to go and what to do
Wasted hours that you made new and turned into a life that we can live
