JUKEBOX HEARTBREAK

The sun cracked a smile
It was endless summer for a while
Stoned like a ghost
Burning bright—delirious with hope

Standing at the edge of forever, baby
I really don't know what it's about
We're living our lives with our feet in the fire

Dancing to that jukebox heartbreak
It’s all a perfect mistake
A memory trapped inside of a song
That you remember when you’re singing along
To that jukebox heartbreak

I scroll through the dust
Where shiny metal turns to rust
The shadows rejoice
Silhouettes—delirious with joy

Everyone is some kind of crazy, baby
Let's wager the gift of desire
Life is a dream in a field of daisies

Singing with that jukebox heartbreak
Oh, what a perfect mistake
A memory trapped inside of a song
That you remember when you’re singing along
To that jukebox heartbreak

The battles we join
Are made up sides of a made-up coin
Just open your mind

Please just listen to that jukebox heartbreak
It’s all a perfect mistake
Just a memory trapped inside of a song
That we remember when we’re singing along
To that jukebox heartbreak
