Numb off neon lights
And too burnt out to try
To charm my way out of
Being alone
Dressed up and drunk
From the old part of town
To the back of the club
You were doing lines
Back in the hotel room
We played with aviator cards
And got kicked out of the bar
Into the dizzy night
Past the drunks and cabs
The street dancers and I
Was a nervous wreck
As you walked away
We recited both of our pasts
But I never gave it a chance
My heart wouldn’t slow down
I tried to breathe in hindsight
But I didn’t workout
I hailed down a cab
And I drank in the back
I told swear I told myself
That I can’t go on like this

I’m not looking for a mistress
I’m just looking for a place to stay tonight
Then I kissed you soft and looked in your eyes
And you touched my hand as you said goodbye
I was cold on road
You don’t know what you don’t know
It was the kind of night
You know you won’t relive
So you take your time
And breathe it in
Speaking in broken pantomime
Stage light all my desperate tires
I’m trying to fight off feeling old
So let’s skip the bar let me take you home
I caught my breathe on the road
I was scared of dying alone
With the lights
Burning out I shake
To remember
I think I’m
Trying a little too hard
To forget her

Pictures of your past lives
Hung on your walls
Lining the corners
Of your haunted halls
And if we’re being honest
I don’t know
If I’d rather stay here
Or just sleep alone
I know that I’m not here
To read your mind
We both have lives
And there is nothing to
These hallow nights
We both have lies
Hypnotized by your slender flame
You leaned in close
And convinced me to stay
But the morning came on
Way too fast
And I couldn’t read
The lines in your hands
Tonight I’m sleeping with a ghost
It’s better than drinking alone

Pardon my glance in your direction
It wasn’t my intention to stare
But the diner’s half empty and my eyes had to land somewhere
I’m a mess when I drink
But I’m an ass when I’m sober
So I’ll do my best to find a new solution
Is it just me or the memory
Small town discounts, empty alleys in the dark
And I’m lost but not quite scared
Since I’m sitting ten feet from you pretending not to care
Pardon my glance in your direction
It wasn’t my intention to stare
But the bars half empty and my eyes had to land somewhere

I think I’m getting better, but then I start to breathe
I think I’m getting better till I realize it’s a dream
The mud on your new jeans
Won’t be a stain if you just keep it out of reach
If you believe me for one thing it’s just keep it out of reach
I don’t know where I’m going
But I think I’m getting there in all manner of ways
Till I saw myself, in a mirror
And I don’t like what I see or what I’ve come to be
I’m sick with a new sickness
I keep looking for a cure inside of a girl
But I think I’m getting better, but then I start to breath
Yes, I think I’m getting better till I realize it’s a dream

You’re calm, and I don’t get it
Every second I burn and shake
A mistake, you can see it coming
Growing on my face
Another drink, to quell dishonesty
But honestly how will two moons help us think
Spend the evening at a cash only bar
Drink the feelings to the floor
Let him breath but keep it out of reach
Welcome silence and hold it in
It rained the first time, snowed the next
Then the question marks began
It’s not that simple it never is
In a town I hardly knew
It’s not that simple it never is
