Oh I gotta know what is always happening
And you wanted something
Had to be something that shines like you
But you won’t ever see the light that lives with me
No, you won’t ever feel the light I feel for you
Oh the light is going and it’s gone
Oh the light is going and now it’s gone
And now it’s gone
Now she’s gone
Oh the light is going now she’s gone
Oh the light is going now she’s gone

I don’t wanna fall off the wheel
I’m gonna kneel at the heal of a word a learned yesterday
It’s bigger than the rest, hold on to your chest
Look the other way
Count to seven, drive your car to 7-Eleven
Grab a bar, head down on your way in
Counter guy knows, it’s a beautiful trust
You notice how the days get left behind
Into the night
Hard to talk when your hands go numb
You’re afraid to feel dumb just by saying a thing wrong
Take your 30-minute walk, around the corner, another block
No one around here talks
And the words are coming up
They have been there for long enough
What’s worse than this
What’s worse than that
What’s worse than silence?
You notice how the days get left behind
You feel that all your ways will ruin your night x2
Count to seven, drive your car to 7-Eleven
Turn around and focus on the feeling
Drive your car to 7-Eleven
You notice how the days get left behind
Into the night
You feel that all your ways will
Ruin your life
You wanna take the money get away from it all
You could be right
Just allow me to feel better
Don’t you feel better
Don’t you feel better now Ahhhhhhhhhhhhkdfksjdksklkhhhhhhhhhh

Gotta get up but I’m just right here
The body’s stuck, and the mind it races
Glued with another day to feel
I gotta get up, gotta face some new faces
I’ll stand and stare and I’ll stand and stare
Lean myself against the wall, have another beer
Say hello maybe fix her hair
Cause the dark isn’t dark if you’ve got a light in your pocket
And the way to keep from going under is just another way
To see yourself, look at her
Beauty in the mirror
See for yourself, look at her
Everybody see her
I’ll make the bed you’ll sleep in later
I’ll cut the flowers they’re yours forever
I’ll watch the birds while you’re sleeping later
You’ll watch my body move with the heater
I’ll break the bones, let the bones break me
Put myself against it all, have another beer
Say goodbye ain’t that something you like
I don’t know anything
Don’t know anything
Don’t know anything
Don’t know anything
I don’t need anything
Don’t need anything
Don’t need anything
Cause the dark isn’t dark if you’ve got a light in your pocket
And the way to keep from going under is just another way
To see yourself, look at her
Beauty in the mirror
See for yourself, look at her
Everybody see her

I’ll take earnest over avoidance anyday
Something like a half-hour comedy hits the same
To me you’re adored
But me I’m on fire
You are the best thing that has ever happened
I can’t even take a walk without loosing where I’m going
Even if I had a map pointed to each place, oh I know it
Leaping with my legs, I can’t even seem to land them
When I’m with you I know exactly where I’m going
You are the best thing that has ever happened
You are the best thing that has ever happened
When a fire starts to burn and you go crazy in your own head
You’re reaching out for something you can hold with your two hands
The feeling starts to take over, the utmost importance
And our focus is in sync
I could look at you always
I’m gonna look to you always
I’m gonna look to you always
I’m gonna feel it all always
I’m gonna look to you always
You are the best thing that has ever happened
You are the best thing that has ever happened
I’m gonna look to you always
I’m gonna feel it all always

Is it fate, what’s left
Hey man, what’s the date?
I think I’ve stayed in bed for too long
Oh anyway the colors are all clear
Good trying, babe
I bet my heart you’ll make it today
You gotta stop trying to get it right and just take it all
Who’s in charge of the cope out? Not you anymore
So you don’t wanna push away anymore
Oh just hit them with the fake out and shut the door
What a waste, what’s left
Hey girl, how’s the cake?
She says try it to feel it
Oh today the red is a little bit brighter
Good trying, babe
You did the best you could today
You gotta stop trying to get it right and just take it all
Who’s in charge of the cope out? Not you anymore
So you don’t wanna push away anymore
Oh just hit them with the fake out and shut the door
Clearer
Brighter
Clearer
You gotta stop trying to get it right and just take it all
You’re not in charge of the cope out, at least not anymore
So you don’t wanna push away anymore
Oh just hit them with the fake out
And shut the door
Shut the door
