    Lyrics:
    The moon is hanging low over the central station
    I watch the buses leave in silence, bound for
    foreign distant places. The Andes hold me close;
    a mother’s only son. I feel weightless in the valley
    like I’m everywhere at once
    I’m laying low
    A stray dog in the street
    You took me home
    We’re sister cities
    We came here abandoned. An old brick-faced
    apartment. Rusty swing set in the courtyard
    like the one that I was born in. I’m guarded
    like I’m wounded. My first instinct is always run.
    I wanna turn to steam / I wanna call it off.
    I want a light in the dark / I wanna swallow the sun.
    I was just mange and skin and bone.
    You took me into your home.
    Kept warm on a blanket of your worn out winter coat.

      I like a fair share of the songs on Forza Horizon, but I don't just like this song. When I hear it playing, it touches something in me, and makes me feel like I have to win for this nameless benefactor of whom the song speaks. Just a weird quirk of my imagination, I realize, but it still is a hell of a motivator.

    It sounds different but at the same time it is so The Wonder Years still. Brutal.

    You guys always release new stuff when I'm in the middle of a crisis. Literally like clockwork. Thank you all so much.

    I’m so surprised by how good this sounds. Wasn’t a fan of the last album but man this one sounds so much better. I can’t wait
