Jukebox Memoirs

(album: Phoenix - 2010)

A song came on the jukebox
In the bar where we first met
And if only for a moment
I remembered what it meant
To wake up tangled in between the sheets
Her thighs all tied between my knees
And never wanting to move from that bed

The words that rang too true to me
That I was just too scared to say

You could be my way out
Save me from this old town
I need it now
We could just leave this place tonight
Throw all of your plans out
Nothing's stopping us
We'll make it out
We could just leave this place tonight
Close your eyes
Just take me away
And say goodbye
We're leaving tonight
You could be my way out
Save me from this old town
I need it now
We could just leave this place

My head weighed down from memories
Laid itself upon the bar
As I stared straight at my future
Seems the past was never far
The dreams came rushing back in melody
The songs that once felt safe to me
Now all that's left are records on the shelf

The words that rang too true to me
That I was just too scared to say

You could be my way out
Save me from this old town
I need it now
We could just leave this place tonight
Throw all of your plans out
Nothing's stopping us
We'll make it out
We could just leave this place tonight
Close your eyes
Just take me away
And say goodbye
We're leaving tonight
You could be my way out
Save me from this old town
I need it now
We could just leave this place

I was so ready to pack my bags and run away
If you would have let me
If you would have let me
I would have stayed that day
I know I'm to blame
For all these mistakes
If I could just hear you say

You could be my way out
Save me from this old town
I need it now
We could just leave this place tonight
Throw all of your plans out
Nothing's stopping us
We'll make it out
We could just leave this place tonight
Close your eyes
Just take me away
And say goodbye
We're leaving tonight
You could be my way out
Save me from this old town
I need it now
We could just leave this place tonight
You could be my way out
We could just leave this place tonight
Throw all of your plans out
We could just leave this place tonight
You could be my way out
We could just leave this place tonight
Throw all of your plans out
We could just leave this place
