High Dive Lyrics - Andrew Mcmahon

I took the train home, facing backwards 

Another hopeless chase 

Echo Park, Indian summer 

I wrote a new song about your new life 

Like steps I retrace 

Block letters in your little black notebook, yeah 

Flashbacks get me close, I'm almost there 

Headlights in the driveway 

You stand in the window waiting 

The stars are out tonight 

One million fires burning 

Out there on the high dive 

You dance with your headphones on 

And I could watch you all night long 

Dancing to someone else's song 

Oh, dancing to someone else's song 

Oh, dancing to someone else's 

A black jacket, a blue motorbike 

Pass the mission in the moonlight 

Teenagers in the alley kissing 

Smell of gas burn, saw your street sign 

I'm doing eighty in a forty-five 

Throwing shadows you could hear if you listen, yeah 

Flashbacks get me close, I'm almost there 

Headlights in the driveway 

You stand in the window waiting 

The stars are out tonight 

One million fires burning 

Out there on the high dive 

You dance with your headphones on 

And I could watch you all night long 

Dancing to someone else's song 

Oh, dancing to someone else's song 

Oh, dancing to someone else's 

Flashbacks get me close 

But I was staring at someone else's 

Headlights in your driveway 

You stand in the window waiting 

The stars are out tonight 

One million fires burning 

Meet me on the high dive 

You'll dance with your headphones on 

So I could watch you all night long 

Dancing to someone else's song (song) 

Oh, dancing to someone else's song (song) 

Oh, dancing to someone else's song 

Someone else's song, to someone else's song 

To someone else's, someone else's, someone else's song
