Tonight's The Kind of Night

Noah And The Whale - Tonight's The Kind Of Night
There's a boy with his head

Pressed up to the window

Of a bus heading out of town

In his breath on the glass

He draws with his finger

A map of the roads they go down

Circles of street lights

Are the only signal

That there's people out there in the black

He waves goodbye, to the town he grew up in

He knows that he'll never come back

But the night outside is five below

His heart is pumping blood

On his lips a perfect smile
His eyes begin to flood

Because tonight's the kind of night

Where everything could change

Tonight's the kind of night

Where everything could change

The rumble strip clack

And the rattling frame

Beat out a pulse on his head

The engine hums, a humble tune

A melody of rubber and lead

Under lamp light glow

And paradise stars

An infinity of dancing white light

He sees that his debt

Is to experience only

And not to those who'd plan out his life

But the night outside is five below

The moon is in the sky

His heart is full of perfect joy

He whispers his goodbye

Because tonight's the kind of night

Where everything could change

Tonight's the kind of night

Where everything could change

And tonight he's not gonna come back home

Oh tonight he's not gonna come back home
Oh tonight he's not gonna come back home
Ohhh
Ohhh
Oh tonight's the kind of night
Where everything could change
Tonight's the kind of night
Where everything could change
Tonight's the kind of night
Where everything could change
Tonight's the kind of night
Where everything could change
End
