Starlight is streaming down a dead-end street
Lead our way back to something good
It's high time we turned around this lousy luck
You know tonight I think that we could
Raise my glass to starting over
Knock on wood we're getting warmer now
It's hard to read the street signs
In these dim lights and soft reflections
No dead ends just new directions
Say that I think we're on an incline
Don't you?
I lose myself sometimes
on these broken streets
But I still dream
I cough I breathe
So beat me down I won't ever leave
And even though I bruise myself
somehow on the same concrete
And lose some skin this world
we're in can do its worst
It'll never win
We float away like fireflies
in city night Across the park
where the flowers end
and the nothing starts
Until we're half dead and
scheming here in your backyard
Find some truth in the wine we spill
Fell short tonight but we'll keep coming back
We always have and we always will
I lose myself sometimes
on these broken streets
But I still dream
I cough I breathe
So beat me down I won't ever leave
And even though I bruise myself
somehow on the same concrete
And lose some skin this world
we're in can do its worst
It'll never win
But right now I don't care
Your smile is like a
cure to my poison luck
In pitch black we lay back
And laugh until the sun comes up
And we hold fast
