We were dreaming all the dreams that kids dream
We stared down life at its most frightening
We defied the rain and lightning
Then we got older and we left our hometowns
We went to school and tried to hold a job down
But the future was such a letdown
Now I'm soaked to the bone, but I don't want to go home
Because there's a place I've gotta be
And you can't go back, you can never go back
At least that's what they all say to me
And I'll rage against the voices that tell me to find my place
I just can't settle down in some small town
And let my whole life go to waste
Because I'm restless. I know there's gotta be something else
And I can't just keep on lying to myself
On the docks, we'd count the constellations
We fell in love and lost our patience
To the Seventies rock station
Then I was on a rooftop in the summertime
Manhattan sunset skyline
And the warm taste of cheap red wine
We'd smoke cigarettes and flick our ash at the sun
Spend days like one-dollar bills
Each night was a brand-new shot at life
And I'm not sure that they ain't still
And I'll rage against the voices that tell me to find my place
And I'll take my time with a bottle of wine
And spit it right back in their faces
Because I'm restless. I know there's gotta be something else
And I can't just keep on lying to myself
And I'll rage against the voices that tell me to find my place
"Just work until you die and never ask why
Forget the things you're trying to chase."
And I'll rage against the voices that tell me to find my place
I've got faith in the night, the music's all right,
And there's some demons that I've got to face
Because I'm restless. I know there's gotta be something else
And I can't just keep on lying to myself
