The Ataris - The Graveyard of the Atlantic lyrics

The Chesapeake below These fumbled hands and nervous smiles We medicate and stumble To find the courage to talk aloud In the streetlight silhouette The neon halos shines so bright While the radio cried young hearts be free tonight So tell me how'd we end up here We all want to feel something Even if it's only for a moment Tell me what happened to our dreams We had when we were young We're never looking back Tonight, these echoes of our lives Are calling out don't surrender, don't surrender Tonight, these jukebox 45's Are calling out don't surrender, don't surrender Well I am just a bit part in this movie of your life While the night brigade rolled on Out on highway 95 We're carving out our lives On these counterfeit guitars While the ghost of our past ring down the boulevard So tell me how'd we end up here We all want to feel something Even if it's only for a moment Tell me what happened to our dreams We had when we were young We're never looking back Tonight, these echoes of our lives Are calling out don't surrender, don't surrender Tonight, sad songs and whiskey nights We're calling out don't surrender, don't surrender We grew up chasing sunsets Now we both just shut our eyes We're never looking back now We were young and oh so bold And torn apart by county lines We're never looking back Tonight, these echoes of our lives Are calling out don't surrender, don't surrender Tonight, from the basements and the dives We're calling out don't surrender, don't surrender
