Election Night
And we drive
Through the red states, Atlantic on our right
Patiently waiting
Results are still pending

If this doesn't happen tonight, it's useless
We've waited four
Long years since the second mistake, we can't wait no more
But who's keeping score?

Turn up the radio for the hundredth time tonight
It makes my ears ring, it makes my soul sing
And I read my notes from friends back home celebrating
'Cause this is amazing, this history that we're making

And I cried
Tears of joy so rare flow free tonight
Out with the deceiver
'Cause we're the believers

And now it's happened tonight, let's use this
We'll wait no more
No more lies or bad excuses, peace at our door
And we're keeping score
Turn up the radio for the hundredth time tonight
It makes my ears ring, it makes my soul sing
And I read my notes from friends back home celebrating
'Cause this is amazing, this history that we're making

Oh, past crimes
Created hard times
Despite shattered nerves
Our voice was heard

Scream at the radio
Please don't let us down tonight
We're all so tired
So start the fire

Turn up the radio for the hundredth time tonight
It makes my ears ring, it makes my soul sing
And I read my notes from friends back home celebrating
'Cause this is amazing, this history that we're making

'Cause this is amazing
This history that we're making
