Bar Lights

The lottery's a lie and the bar lights stay on till midnight
The fortune teller's tale was a trick that sent us running to the floodlight
Searching for more than what we had already
Ran till our legs were sore for a moment of clarity

Wake up in a place that seems unfamiliar to the eye
Your apartment is an eyesore that I tried to erase out of my mind
Call me when you're bored, we'll go chase for the jackpot
Run till our legs go sore and stare at stars from the asphalt

We're in search of something beautiful, we wanted all or nothing together
Now all we have to look forward to is drinking down our midnight adventures

Sin City seemed nice till the lights started losing their shine
It grew as cold as your fingertips when you tried to touch mine
Now the only source of fun is counting down the regrets
Burn our throats in a minute, in an hour we'll forget

And I tried to fantasize what it would be like if we made it to the dawn
And I tried to romanticize a reality where you stayed mine
But we never lasted that long

When the bar closes soon we'll go right back to where we always started
You leave me stranded there, desperate and brokenhearted
And I know, I know, I know it's as bad as it sounds
But I know, I know, I know you'll come back around

We're in search of something meaningful, we wanted all or nothing together
Now all we have to look forward to is drinking down our given-up endeavors

And I know, I know, I know it's as bad as it sounds
But I know, I know, I know you'll come back around
