lyrics
When the road appears before you
With your eyes closed you know you’ve gone too far
When you can’t recognise the pavement
Within a thousand miles of where you are
But when the sun goes down
The streets light up and I can feel
Somethin there
Somethin else
That feeling creeping back in to my mind
Long after they’re all worn out
I’m still trying hard to cut ties to the past
Still searching for answers in the bottom of a glass
And when I hit the wall once more
I said goodbye to all I was searching for
And although it was already dawn I kept performing
If I was gonna get what I wanted to get
I’d have to start all over again
And I can’t keep the smirk from my mouth
I think it’s so sad you’re wasting your time
On his
Pretty face
And this broken city I just want to erase
And long after you’re both asleep
I’ll be alone with my demons and my thoughts
And my plans will stay strong until I get caught
With your eyes closed you know you’ve gone too far
When you can’t recognise the pavement
Within a thousand miles of where you are
But when the sun goes down
The streets light up and I can feel
Somethin there
Somethin else
That feeling creeping back in to my mind
Long after they’re all worn out
I’m still trying hard to cut ties to the past
Still searching for answers in the bottom of a glass
And when I hit the wall once more
I said goodbye to all I was searching for
And although it was already dawn I kept performing
If I was gonna get what I wanted to get
I’d have to start all over again
And I can’t keep the smirk from my mouth
I think it’s so sad you’re wasting your time
On his
Pretty face
And this broken city I just want to erase
And long after you’re both asleep
I’ll be alone with my demons and my thoughts
And my plans will stay strong until I get caught
