lyrics

bright lights and gasoline
I think you know exactly what I mean

sunlight and evening rain
you feel the whole world racing through your brain

and no time, to look back
you're scared to think on all the things you lack

so heads up, concentrate
'cos you don't want to be the one that's late

maybe everybody knows
we all surrendered long ago
to bright lights and gasoline
and all the those little trinkets in between

they called my name and I obeyed
and the tongue inside my head became a blade

I spoke up, my voice was clear
and the terms that I employed were most severe

the day died and we moved on
turns out no-one's right and no-one's wrong

and no grief and no tears
just a few old ghosts to chase me down the years

I've been down this road before
So how come I don't seem to know it anymore
I can't catch my breath, I don't eat
Scared to close my eyes when I sleep

friday night, traffics slow
don't worry about the things you can't control

and all your time, and all your love
is poured away as if not enough

tried my best, I leaned in
I left my mark in everyplace I've been

I can't tell you if it's fair
but lately I don't seem to care
for bright lights and gasoline
and all those little trinkets in between
