As Long As You Care

(album: Bright Lights, Red Eyes - 2020)

I'm sun-dried
My lips are high on over drive
I'm so tired
I'm sorry if I'm low on confidence
I left at midnight
I'm sorry but my brain is fried
I haven't seen your face in miles and miles
Always on a different continent

Don't forget me now
Or ever
'Cause I know
I know

As long as you care
You have no idea
It's all bright lights and red eyes
Bright lights and red eyes
I'm never there
But as long as you're here
I'm all bright lights and red eyes
Bright lights and red eyes

Sometimes
Got me working like a broke machine
Bad advice
Is why I keep on coming home again
My fingers still bleed
Maybe this is what I need
'Cause I've been moving on for miles and miles
Running off instead of facing you
But if I do

You won't
Be home
When I get there
And I'm running out of air

But as long as you care
You have no idea
It's all bright lights and red eyes
Bright lights and red eyes
I'm never there
But as long as you're here
I'm all bright lights and red eyes
Bright lights and red eyes

Never wanna sleep 'til noon
Never wanna see you with those red eyes
Those red eyes
Never wake up in my room
Never wanna see you with those red eyes

But don't cry I know that you care
You have no idea
It's all bright lights and red eyes
Bright lights and red eyes
I'm never there
But as long as you're here
I'm all bright lights and red eyes
Bright lights and red eyes

As long as you care
(Red eyes, red eyes)
