Weekend
VÉRITE Lyrics

You can drive your fast car
You have the freedom to do what you want, including driving fast

Through the village ‘til you die
You can choose to live your life dangerously and recklessly

Or you could take another deep breathe swingin'
Alternatively, you could take a chance and try something new

For the days I could watch you run
Looking back on past experiences with fondness

Through the white lighted streets
Remembering moments of purity and beauty

Where the houses stay the same
Reflecting on the familiarity of the past

Where we could drink
Revisiting old habits and indulgences

‘til we'd never remember our names
Taking things to an extreme and losing oneself in the moment

So we can hang our noose
Suggesting the danger and thrill of living on the edge

Under stars bright
Appreciating the beauty of the night sky

Ready to glow
Eager and excited for what is to come

And we can fall in love for the weekend
Embracing a fleeting romance or fling that is meant to last only a short time

Two hearts starting to slow
Treating time as if it is slowing down and enjoying every moment

We can dream in white hot
Describing a vivid and passionate dream world

Color in ecstasy we'll fade
Fading away into a world of intense bliss and pleasure

Into the silence of our
Finding peace and happiness in quiet, intimate moments

Dead night freezing
Describing a cold, oppressive darkness

When the smoke cleared
Emerging from a haze and seeing things clearly

I awoke here
Realizing where you really are

Caught in the patterns of the mess
Feeling trapped in the chaos of life

That we've been making
Acknowledging responsibility for one's actions

We can play pretend ‘til it gets dark
Embracing a temporary escape from reality

And count the seconds until everything falls apart
Knowing that the fantasy cannot last forever

Cause we're the new kids
Identifying as young and carefree

Waiting on the edge
Anticipating what is to come

And we're ready to go
Feeling energized and excited

And we could fall in love for the weekend
Looking for a temporary connection with someone

We're on the edge of a shotgun
Being in a dangerous and unpredictable situation

Ready to blow
Feeling like something is about to happen

Just give me one shot in my veins
Using a metaphor for a drug to describe the intensity of emotions

And I'll be ready to love
Being open to the possibility of connecting with someone

You know I'm trying too hard
Admitting vulnerability and insecurity

But it isn't enough
Feeling like effort isn't being reciprocated
