City Lights

(album: Throwing The Game - 2001)

I'm addicted to the city lights
I guess you're right but something changed tonight
I made it through with spontaneity
But this monotony is killing me
It's 2 AM, man. The house is cold
I'm feeling old looking back at how time's rolled
I know somewhere stars fill up the night
That must be such a sight, it'd make me whole again inside

I'm getting closer, closer the farther I drive away
I'm getting colder, colder the longer I stay

Don't know how much time I got to spend right here, right here
I've been avoiding but it's time to face my fear, right here
Looks like this episode should end
And I'll miss my friends

I'm distracted by this ambient night
Memories bite sitting where the rain and pavement fight
I never meant to make the onion cry
But I gotta see the tide to make me whole again inside

I'm getting closer, closer the farther I drive away
I'm giving colder shoulders the longer I stay

Don't know how much time I got to spend right here, right here
I've been avoiding but it's time to face my fear, right here
Feels like this episode should end
And I'll miss my friends

Did you know I've never seen the ocean
In the midst of all this windy commotion?
Pack our bags, bust to horizon
Won't stop 'til I see the sun rising
Looking in to darkest oblivion
Might help humble jaded opinion
What'll come will come of this mission
No guarantee to hinder depression
When I leave I won't make a sound
Make sure no one's around
Where am I headed? I'm headed westward bound
I can't breathe this
Midwest air tonight
Oh yeah

Don't know how much time I got to spend right here, right here
I've been avoiding but it's time to face my fear, right here
Feels like this masquerade should end
And I'll miss my friends (And I'll miss my friends)
I need more time to spend (And I'll miss my friends)
With my friends (And I'll miss my friends)
With my friends
(Don't know how much time I got to spend right here, right here)
My friends
(Don't know how much time I got to spend right here)
