lyrics

We were raised on heroics,
But here we are
Sitting in the cold
Trying to start your car.
And I can't stop being sorry
for taking this so hard.
I go too far.

We should've cashed in years ago
When I was Kennedy and you were Monroe
And the whole town was crying
"Oh, poor Jackie O."
Two dead American heroes.
But, I've got no Oswald
You've got no dragon's dawn.
More like Jack and Diane,
Talking 'bout "Life goes on..."
Oh, what a shame.

We were born in the jet stream
But not quite blown away.
We just blew our potential
In the back seat of your Lincoln Continental.
And I can't stop feel guilty
For getting so sentimental.
I go too far.

Sometimes all I remember is
That sunday dress, that monday morning, caught in the rain.
My father's promises, your father's threats.
Your mother just going completely insane.
But, I was fearless then.
Lord, I was young.
I told you I was certain, and
I thought I was.
Your mother just going completely insane,
Pulling out her hair and singing
"Lord, what a shame.
But life goes on...."
We go too far.

We should've cashed in years ago
When I was Kennedy and you were Monroe
And the whole town was crying
"Oh, poor Jackie O."
Two dead American heroes.
But, I've got no Oswald
You've got no dragon's dawn.
More like Jack and Diane,
Talking 'bout "Life goes on..."
Oh, what a shame.

We were raised on heroics
But here we are,
I'm grasping for the gold
In the back seat of your car.
And I can't stop feeling sorry
for taking this too far.
I come so hard.
