Recognize

(album: Carte Blanche - 2019)

Feel a mess, but long nights set the mood
Watching others drink too much, much too soon
Started sometime in the afternoon, I'm fading
You like those with nothing left to lose
Smoking cigarettes and breaking rules
Look around no mirrors in the room
But I can see myself in you

You found a life in the night
You fall asleep 'til the light
You do what you think is right
And couldn't care what others like
Told your love, "Life's a mess
Damned if you don't, and damned if you do"
Caught your eyes across the room
I can see myself in you

You can't remember names in the morning
(I can see myself in you)
Good times ain't always good to you
(I can see myself in you)
Gone somewhere but don't know where you're going
(I can see myself in you)

You're here, you're gone with your friends
And they don't know how to go home
I'm only here, 'cause my boys are here
And they don't know how to go alone
They said it's good to get out the house
No one cares, I'm jaded, it's true
You don't have to say it, you are too
'Cause I can see myself in you

I found a life in the night
I fall asleep 'til the light
I do what I think is right
I couldn't care what others like
Told my love, "Life's a mess
Damned if I don't, and damned if I do"
Noticed you from across the room
I can see myself in you

You can't remember names in the morning
(I can see myself in you)
Good times ain't always good to you
(I can see myself in you)
Gone somewhere but don't know where you're going
(I can see myself in you)
