Aaron West And The Roaring Twenties - Runnin' Scared Lyrics
I'm stuck on a memory of you dancing
In a backyard in North Jersey
You're holding sparklers and silhouetted
By the porch lights on a summer evening
So while I'm pulling my gloves off with my teeth
I curse the dashboard heat
It's fucking freezing
Asleep in the backseat, oh, god, I'm shaking
I'm empty. I feel so damn empty
Well, I keep thinking that I'll feel better
When it's warmer across state lines
Now I'm scraping ice off of the windshield
With a piece of broken taillight
But I keep seeing your face in the northbound traffic
I curse the dashboard heat
It's fucking freezing
Asleep in the backseat, oh, god, I'm shaking
I'm empty. I feel so damn empty
Well, I'm gonna go to Georgia
I'm gonna smile in the sun
I'm gonna pick you some wild day-lilies and I'm gonna hold on to ‘em
I'm gonna keep ‘em in my pocket 'til you let me back home
Oh, I'm gonna go to Georgia and I'm coming back whole
I curse the dashboard heat
It's fucking freezing
Asleep in the backseat, oh, god, I'm shaking
I'm empty. I feel so damn empty
I curse the dashboard heat
It's fucking freezing
Asleep in the backseat, oh, god, I'm shaking
I'm empty. I feel so damn empty

I CURSE THE DASHBOARD HEAT

Album: We Don't Have Each Other
I'm stuck on a memory of you dancing
In a backyard in North Jersey
You're holding sparklers and silhouetted
By the porch lights on a summer evening
So while I'm pulling my gloves off with my teeth
It occurred to me you used to be happy
[Chorus]
I curse the dashboard heat
It's fucking freezing
Asleep in the backseat, oh, god, I'm shaking
I'm empty. I feel so damn empty
Well, I keep thinking that I'll feel better
When it's warmer across state lines
Now I'm scraping ice off of the windshield
With a piece of broken taillight
And oh, I wouldn't quite call it homesick
But I keep seeing your face in the northbound traffic
[Chorus]
I curse the dashboard heat
It's fucking freezing
Asleep in the backseat, oh, god, I'm shaking
I'm empty. I feel so damn empty
Well, I'm gonna go to Georgia (Lilburn)
I'm gonna smile in the sun
I'm gonna pick you some wild day-Lilies and I'm gonna hold on to ‘em
I'm gonna keep ‘em in my pocket 'til you let me back home
Oh, I'm gonna go to Georgia and I'm coming back whole
[Chorus]
I curse the dashboard heat
It's fucking freezing
Asleep in the backseat, oh, god, I'm shaking
I'm empty. I feel so damn empty
[Chorus]
I curse the dashboard heat
It's fucking freezing
Asleep in the backseat, oh, god, I'm shaking
I'm empty. I feel so damn empty

My best friend died in 2017. This is really fucking hitting me and I don’t know why.
i just moved from georgia to new jersey... fuck me. this is too real.
"Oh I wouldn't quite call it homesick, but I keep seeing your face in the north bound traffic"". One of my favorite lines in any song. It gets me every time.
This guy sounds like Soupy from TWY.
+A Greased Scotsman This is Soupy and Mike and a whole collaboration of excellent musicians.
+aaron c it's not soupy. it's spicy. two different people, man.
+Thanks Obama Thanks.. Obama
+Thanks Obama I thought it was soupy's evil twin brother stewie
It's been almost two years since me and my ex split and I'm still not over it. To add I lost a friend in a Navy training accident a little over a year ago and my best friend in high school died while studying abroad. It's been the hardest year of my life. (Please no sympathy it's something we all go through and I'll get through it.)
This album has really been helping me get out all those emotions I could never quite get out. This album is one of the greatest pieces of art I've ever heard. In my top 5 albums without a doubt.
I'd go far to say this album helped me turn my life around.
+Breck Hausler harden the fuck up
+Breck Hausler if you're not already a Bayside fan..... Bayside. If you're ever having a rough go, there's a perfect Bayside song for it,
@Mcface You ever get your shit jacked up and pushed in?
Them baba o'riley chords amiright
how can you curse the heat and be freezing? can someone explain to me help help help
@Kevin Spencer hes angry about the heat only coming out by the dashboard i think
he curses the heat becos it isnt work. lol.
Man, do I love this song!!!
Dan is probably my favorite vocalist at the moment. So in love with the wonder years and Aaron West
is he still your favorite vocalist
that intro is so good.
Can't stop listening to this, really hope we see many more Aaron West albums
dat mountain goats reference
This is fucking incredible and if dan had any doubts about if he was one of the best lyricists in pop punk (or of all time) he can push them aside. This is one of the best releases of the summer and 2014 as a whole.
in pop punk? definitely serious contention. of all time? lol no.
+ThatGirl Paul Simon is pretty great for All Time, but he is fucking amazing
protip for this thread: If you think something is the best of "all time", then it's probably never is.
Is this a side project of the wonder years?
Yeah the wonder years!!!!
I'm listening to this album for the second time, it's just amazing and heart breaking. Soupy keeps topping his own lyrics with each album. I can't wait to see how this will influence the new TWY songs.
By the way, I think this song would be a lot better if it ended with the line "I'm gonna go to Georgia and I'm coming back whole." Instead of repeating the chorus afterwards.
This entire album is exactly what I was waiting for and more.
