My amps on and its warm I pass the time while I’m looking at these photos Filled with prime memories of years ago And I try to be there when you want me And my mind will still chase you Baby I’d bleed Just to see you standing on the beach Your silhouette in a storm A gray day, but snow falls And everyday you wont have to call Cause I try to be there when you want me But I’m lost in transmission Baby I’d bleed Just to see you standing on the beach

Walking down the street looking up at the moon And it 3 in the morning in Cleveland and I’m leaving soon Its cold outside and the wind blows in my face And the snow on the ground is frozen in place I gotta clear my head out when I’m dreaming of being here again I head out west and I head back east I’m living in cities extending my lease everywhere I’m pushing the boundaries of what I can bear Pushing the boundaries of what? I don’t care Winning and losing and I know I’m lost I’m swimming in circles I can’t defrost to no more disguise Good fortune on the rise Good fortune in my skies But I’m stuck in the times that I let pass by In a dream I wish I’m someone else Someone running away Getting lost in America Engulfed in its sway When you’ve burned all your bridges You feel like a stray If I could go back in time I’d undo all of my crimes Do it all over again And I’d be there with you I’d be there with you I’d be there with you Under New York lights I would hold you tight never feel low On the Cleveland Nights your eyes shined bright wherever it snows Dallas Lights, Austin Nights... I’m only awake I’ll be wide awake til I die You know that Roosevelt died? You know that Blackwell died? You know that Varkens died? And my minds been broken up I’m lost and do not feel grown up Feeling alone, so far from home Here until the other side My minds been changing with the time A dream wont replace me I cannot know everything In the city of New York The Mets are playing tonight I see the starry lights From this window so bright And the Queensboro bridge Will it stand for all time? When this hospital land Never was planned And the lights that I saw In Dallas, that night On Austin, Rainey street Replaced with concrete Dallas lights, Austin nights, New York life, Cleveland Heights I stayed up and watched the stars shining again They’re above no matter where it is I am The North Star is somewhere someday I will find it And until I decide it belongs to me I’ve been dreaming of New York And everyones towns But life’s been in front of me I just had to look around

Twenty two years pass you by and you wake up where’s your makeup? Wishing something tragic in your life would just flair up? how pathetic Motivate your mind til the senses come clear there’s nothing happening here Is there no reason to rhyme? I’ve sat here a thousand times And a number had nothing to do with it I’m burning up at 8 and singing late at night And I don’t want this to leave My head and never come back I’m breaking out of the mold The only thing that got me here Is writing til I can’t stay awake I’m fabling all my previous mistakes I will never pretend to know how I can resolve Every instance of song I need to know what it takes To figure out how to bake all these thoughts in my head And dissolve them in lead Is there no reason to rhyme? I’ve sat here a thousand times And a number had nothing to do with it Im burning up at 8 and singing late at night

Neon sign out the door Seeing drinks in galore I think I’m better off this way Not like there’s any other way Been imprisoned once or twice I can’t remember what is my vice Walls sometimes talk, towers they turn I just self medicate, and then I burn In state of heat, you get no health Unless its of course that you come from wealth I’m going back to this hole in my heart Nothing will change, bless the insane Towers are turning Many years down this road Everything isn’t and the land erodes I have a son, don’t know if he’s grown Everything isn’t in my mind alone Outside this bar, some people rest I never could say that I’ve been that blessed I’m going back to this hole in my heart Nothing will change, bless the insane Towers are turning

Lights out in the suburbs Transformers pop Fade away with reverb The treetops dropped Alone at home again Time has stopped So I’d ride around listening To William sing And the moon, it is glistening Maybe I wouldn’t be if you meant nothing to me I reflected all your light onto my film But the focus it wasn’t on you I can say that I spoke without ilm But retraction doesn’t make it up to I have hurt, more than once I’m this storm to your heart I’ll ride around listening To Elverum sing And the moon is still glistening Maybe I wouldn’t be if you meant nothing to me My amps on and its still warm

My amps on and its warm I pass the time while I’m looking at these photos Filled with prime memories of years ago Can I try to be there when you want me? My mind will still chase you Baby I’d bleed Just to see you standing on the beach Your silhouette in a storm A gray day, but snow falls And everyday you wont have to call Cause I try to be there when you want I’m lost in transmission Baby I’d bleed Just to see you On the beach

I found myself across the country Driving down an old dirt road With you in the passenger seat Nothing but the setting sun Everything feels like an ending Everything feels like a start The start of something new Something new We packed your bags up and drove down south Where the heat is high and my blood runs cold Every nights become something old I was blind I didn’t see it I’m always angry at nothing in my head Im always angry that I am not there In Cincinnati we got ciders Texarkana, and cities shout Bars are open we sing along People driving all night long In Nashville we went out to dance We never danced and never sung Bars are open to sing along... Its so hard when you don’t know Where we’ll be in a year But we’re still young Young enough to not give up I remember all the good times Looking in to your old life Sleeping in your mother’s house Talking til its light outside Driving at sunset living til dawn You’re on my mind while I’m singing this song Watching you under Dallas Lights Kissing you on Austin Nights And I would drive all night long Just to see you and sing this song If I could you know I would Hold your hand and sing: Dallas lights, Austin nights, hills have lives across the country
