AM-FM Sound
Matt & Kim Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The open road is on my back today
Hold me up be sure not to drag away
All these twists and turns piles of dreams and dimes
I'll take whats in front and leave this mess behind
Well I just sit here tonight and wait for my ride
Well I just sit here tonight and you always by my side

Oh-a-oh

Meet after dark and just follow me
Dredged and worn away wrong side of the street
Well I just sit here tonight and wait for my ride
Well I just sit here tonight and you always by my side

[Repeat x2]
No time to waste and so many things to break
AM FM sounds should tear some fences down
Oh-a-oh





No time to waste and so many things to break
