Red Lights

In all good faith and sentiment

I can't believe somehow

That I haven't died of grief or somethin' since you left this town

I'm all undecorated, cigarettes

Standard white apartment walls

At 3 a.m. and 4 a.m., it's impossible to sleep

I'd do anythin' to hold you

To feel you next to me

But I'm all sore eyes and beasts at my back door

Pullin' out their claws

So yes, I will take those

Whatever else they give me

If it stops the nightmares

Probably won't kill me

And if I slow it down

I'll end up on one of my accuser's knives

So, I only stop to tell her that I love her at the red lights

At the red lights

And all in all, I'm wrecked, you see, from years of pipin' down

And pipin' up about the things that never mattered anyhow

When you change too much, you lose yourself

And sometimes, you just don't get them back

And you might be an angel or a devil, I don't know

But if in fact you are now, love

Well, I've been there before

And I've fallen on my face

And I've been burned so near to death

I probably won't live through it

Anyhow

So yes, I will take those

Whatever else they give me

If it stops the nightmares

Probably won't kill me

And if I slow it down

I'll end up on one of my accuser's knives

So, I only stop to tell her that I love her at the red lights

At the red lights

Ooh

Ooh

Yes

So yes, I will take those

Whatever else they give me

If it stops the nightmares

Probably won't kill me

And if I slow it down

I'll end up on one of my accuser's knives

So, I only stop to tell her that I love her at the red lights

(So yes, I will take those)

(Whatever else they give me)

At the red lights

(If it stops the nightmares)

(Probably won't kill me)

At the red lights

(And if I slow it down)

(I'll end up on one of my)

At the red lights

(So, I only stop to tell her that I love her)

At the red lights
