She said I can't help feeling alone
In this small, crowded room
Can anybody turn the lights off?
He said the numb from the cold keeps me whole
The sun's to bright out at noon
Can anybody turn the lights off?
When we say our goodbyes
Knowing something's not right
We're at the station the last trains gone by
Back to the maze of my mind
Missing all the road signs
And wishing retrospect wouldn't plague me this way

Juggle all the maybes
Hope anxiety will change things
Recognizing all your antics
Dropping lifelines from your deep blue pickup

Wondering where do we go?
Consult the comforts of your mementos
Mind the thief in the night
Is it the truth or just an echo?
Of the people we are
You've had the same face all week
They say that knowing is half the battle
But for our case it's everything

Molding life through rumor mill
From the tongues of snakes
The iron will
Carries further than our humble etchings
Initials on the asphalt hill
Hindsight lets you know
Tally the regrets stay unknown
Blessed to walk a million miles
From the grace of an exposed backbone

Out of pain or pleasure
Out of jest trying to sound clever
Secrets are the walls of cities
Brick to skin cements the living to the floor
Proud of what we get to see
Your hat-trick's crooked show
And the hidden hand brings miracles
For you and I to forget our troubles

It's safe to say
Time goes on and I have forgotten
The words you say
Leaves me standing here
Slack jawed I'm nothing
It's still the same
Chasing double meanings
While you're whistling
Through your life
And walk on by
The glow of hazard lights

Where do we go?
Consult the comforts of your mementos
Mind the thief in the night
Is it the truth or just an echo?
Of the people we are
You've had the same face all week
They say that knowing is half the battle
But for our case it's everything

She said I can't help feeling alone
In this small, crowded room
Can anybody turn the lights off?
