White String Lights

Violets from the neighbors garden
Put 'em in an empty beer bottle
And place them on the cardboard box
You use as a nightstand

You don't get home 'til there's sun through the blinds
I'm worried bout the way they're treating you
But you say that it's fine
You still got laugh lines from smilin'
But I can tell it's getting hard

I don't wanna see it fall apart
Your whole world come crashing down

But under the white string lights
Could see a sky of stars in your eyes
And I feel myself fall inside them
Drifting away in the glow of the white string lights
Those white string lights

Combat boots under my only dress
Watching you place at another restaurant
'Til there's no one left
I know you do it all for nothing
Like a kid with no fear of the dark

And I don't wanna be the one to make
Your whole world come crashing down

Cause under the white string lights could
See a sky of stars in your eyes
And I feel myself fall inside them
Drifting away in the glow of the white string lights

Falling aimlessly
We lost our gravity
And we fall apart
Cause we just can't find the spark

And under the white string lights could
See a sky of stars in your eyes
'Til one by one they all went dark and
You're drifting away

And under the white string lights could
See a sky of stars in your eyes
'Til one by one they all went dark and
You're someone that I can't recognize
Under the white string lights
