I’m Ready to Move On/Mickey Mantle Reprise Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I got one light and dim for another
Why wait a minute to tell her I love her?
I’m waiting on the side of the road tonight
The stars are out but she’s burning brighter and
These nights are never the same
At the bus stop alone but it never came
I'm waiting on the side of the road tonight
The stars are out but she’s burning brighter
[Verse 2]
I got one dream, been hurting me forever
Why wait a minute to tell her I’m better?
I’m waiting on the side of the road tonight
The stars are out and she’s burning brighter and
These nights are never the same
I’m at the bus stop alone but it never came
I'm waiting on the side of the road tonight
The stars are out but she’s burning brighter
[Bridge]
Rolling thunder had cursed my bedroom, hey
I wanna get free, from your world, from your bad dream
I wanna get lost, but there’s still so much I’d like to say
Hey, there's still so much I'd like to say
Hey, there's still so much I'd like to say
Hey, hey, hey, hey
[Outro: Jack Antonoff and Camilla Venturini]
Goodbye to the friends I had
Goodbye to my upstairs neighbor
Goodbye to the kids downstairs and
Everybody who lent me a favor
I want more and more and it feels very strange
Goodbye to the dream I had
Yeah, I thought that I could save it
I've gotta get myself back home soon
Goodbye to the kids I'd have
I'm trying to get myself back home
Everybody who lent me a favor
Where the experience is at
I wanna be grateful, I, I wanna be
Everybody's looking for someone to love
I feel like I'm building something here, like a family, like a normal family
You know that they're out there
And I feel like I'm missing more and more every time and it feels very strange
And every time I go back it gets harder because I get older
You've changed, you, you've changed
You, you've changed
I'm trying to get myself back home
I've gotta get myself back home soon
About
Like the Bleachers' freshman album “Strange Desire,” Jack goes for a similar style for the second to last song’s title. On “Strange Desire” the second to last track is entitled “I’m Ready to Move On / Wild Heart Reprise”, which he does here with “I’m Ready to Move On / Mickey Mantle Reprise.” Both of the tracks feature a reprisal of the first tracks on the respected albums.
In a video posted on the official @bleachersmusic twitter page, he states:
This is really the beginning of the end, this is really the end of the album.
