*music intro starts with me and band brother getting into two old sports cars, racing them down interstate*
*close up of my right hand gripping a woman's thigh; it's lover*
*woman passenger in band brother's car flicks her cigarette on to freeway, hair flows in wind*
*we smile and exchange glances after police sirens are heard behind us*
With eyes wide shut we lay stagnant awake
*darkened clip of me laying down in car with my eyes closed; quickly open them, look out window*
Safe for now in this wondrous state
*lover wraps her arm around my waist, kisses me; band brother walks to my car window and reassures me*
Lost at a crossroad that's missing a sign
*speeding through stop signs as we wander various routes*
How do we know if they made it alive
*connecting thought bubble between me and band brother; we wonder about our friends back home; exchange concerned glances again*
There's something lurking in the distance ahead
*his gf sits on his lap, my girl with me; we all analyze a map and point to direction we plan to head*
Fragments of light shine away from the dead
*sunlight blinds me as i look up to sky; swift frame/appearance of my ancestors reaching out to me in the "light"*
They fantasize fury, no time left to stop.
*strippers dancing at strip club in a gta-like setting; we rev our cars as the strippers come out and wave flirtatiously*
Darkness approaching now we're at a loss
*police radio feedback/static is heard and we turn off high beams and leave the scene; lover kissing me as i step on pedal*
Sometimes, when all that's lost remains
*our cars accelerate down an empty highway; with windows down, band brother and i often smile to each other for affirmation*
Drink from the fountain of youth and never age again
*reach a wooded area and make camp; stare at the stars as we sit under the moon in a lake*
Sometimes we jump across to every cloud
*another club scene intensifies with strobe lights, our girls dance around us*
Fly away, get lost and never be found
*close up/zoom in midst of strobe of me and her kissing*
Sometimes, when all that's lost remains
*flashback to my dream of her and I; she reflects upon it, blushing*
Drink from the fountain of youth and never age again
*band brother takes a smoke and puffs it out at a gas station, his gf leans against him for warmth*
Sometimes we jump across to every cloud
*the smoke cloud flows up to the sky, fades into stars*
Fly away, get lost and never be found
*our cars swerving and switching lanes as we continue*
There's something lurking from the shadows within
*panorama view of a strip club scene; band brother in midst playing guitars surrounded by girls with his gf*
Stealing the color and life from our skin
*the colors of strobe lights surround me and lover, she walks close to me and our faces brush*
They fantasize fury at no extra cost
*quick clip of lover and band brother's gf pole dancing*
Darkness approaches now we're at a loss
*he and i clink wine glasses whilst sitting on the cliff, sun sets*; girls sitting between our legs*
Sometimes, when all that's lost remains
*lover and i sit on the roof of my car, waiting for band brother and his gf to arrive*
Drink from the fountain of youth and never age again
*i smile sadly as she cries, missing old life; wave of guilt washes over*
Sometimes we jump across to every cloud
*she buries her head into my, i comfort her; he arrives and we speed off with him*
Fly away, get lost and never be found
*we speed the sports cars across a valley, jump across an opening boat bridge*
Sometimes, when all that's lost remains
*nearly skid to halt on opposite side, catch balance, and continue, our women praising us*
Drink from the fountain of youth and never age again
*we find another isolated spot, make camp and a fire*
Sometimes we jump across to every cloud
*i light cigarette and an ash heart forms between me and lover*
Fly away, get lost and never be found
*i smile to her warmly, she laughs to herself; quick silhouette of best brother and his man flying above us all as we drive*
And never be found
*we pull up to west coast as sun sets, run down to purple-sky beach*
And never be found
*we embrace our lovers; best brother and his lover land beside us, we're all relieved to have made it*
And never be found
*'wanted' poster with me and band brother's faces pinned to a wall come into old film*
And never be found...
*bird's eye view of younger teen versions of ourselves sitting on the grassy hillside in our valley, vibing and laughing as stars surround us; fade away in frame*
