14th & Knott
by: A Dream Too LateThe Sound of silence in the streets
Echo off the cars
The way everyone’s asleep seems to be the start
Of dreams wandering this town
Will never get you far
The time has come, The time to run
Do you remember? Do you remember
That the freeway takes you anyplace?
Just like this life can, Just like this life can
Take you anyplace
But I cant take you
Have you lost the motion in your heart
Because its been so long?
Since you walked out of the door
And learned to just move on from dreams
That never came around to being second best
The time has come, Its time you run
It’s a goodnight feeling
When summers leaving
It’s a goodnight feeling
With summer leaving
Do you remember? Do you remember
That the freeway takes you anyplace
Just like this life can, just like this life can
Take you anyplace
