Tonight's The Kind of Night -- Noah and the Whale




There's a boy with his head  Pressed up to the window  Of a bus heading out of town In his breath on the glass  He draws with his finger  A map of the roads they go down Circles of street lights  Are the only signal  That there's people out there in the black  He waves goodbye, to the town he grew up in  He knows that he'll never come back


On his lips a perfect smile His eyes begin to flood
Because tonight's the kind of night  Where everything could change
Tonight's the kind of night  Where everything could change

The rumble strip clack  And the rattling frame  Beat out a pulse on his head
The engine hums, a humble tune  A melody of rubber and lead
Under lamp light glow  And paradise stars  An infinity of dancing white light
He sees that his debt  Is to experience only  And not to those who'd plan out his life

The night outside is five below  The moon is in the sky
His heart is full of perfect joy  He whispers his goodbye
Because tonight's the kind of night  Where everything could change
Tonight's the kind of night  Where everything could change

And tonight he's not gonna come back home  Ohhh  Ohhh
Oh tonight's the kind of night  Where everything could change
Tonight's the kind of night  Where everything could change



The night outside is five below  His heart is pumping blood
The song is an anthem of escape, although the destination is kept deliberately unspecific. 
When I was 18, I drove across the States for three months, playing my guitar at open-mic nights. I love that feeling of being lost for days and just bearing straight on down.
