Lyrics

MY NIGHTS

The rain reminds me of the distance in-between
The drops that fall that somehow fail to reach the ground
Half-eaten dinner in a cafe down the street
But, you know I just can’t seem to eat when I am down

Are you surprised that I am down again
It’s the same old song with the same old end
My stare is hard still you pretend
That it’s all right...it’s always alright
But baby, my nights just go on and on and on and on…

Vapor trails are hidden by the rolling thunderclouds
I saw them once, but now the grays replace the blues
Empty notes scratched on a pad, but their message rings out clear
Like the sounds beyond the ear, I cry for you

Are you surprised that I am down again
It’s the same old song with the same old end
My stare is hard still you pretend
That it’s all right...it’s always alright
But baby, my nights just go on and on and on and on…

The rain reminds me of a distance so removed
And so obscured by fear, I don’t know how far to run
And these half-lived dreams we shared mean nothing anymore
They were never fully lived, so how can they be done

Are you surprised that I am down again
It’s the same old song with the same old end
My stare is hard still you pretend
That it’s all right...it’s always alright
But baby, my nights just go on and on and on and on…
And on and on and on and on, yeah...
