The Christmas lights have all expired
And last year's tree is in the fire
I'll spent the summer in Omaha
With no reason at all
All those years spent on a road
Descending notes don't mean much anymore
A compass no longer shows
You, the true North
Everybody needs a reason to wake up in love
Everybody needs a reason to wake up in love
Smoke and gin it's all pretend
That I don't know there's something killing me
As my friends start their families
I should be happy but I'm grieving
I call you lost but the truth is
I don't know my own way anymore
I see the ones with ambition one
And it's like losing a hundred wars
But I'm too selfish and mean
To give up on the dream
But what is the dream?
You tell me
You tell me
It's a disappearing season my time has come
I'm still looking for a reason to wake up in love
The Christmas lights have all expired
And last year's tree is in the fire
The last summer in Omaha
With no reason at all
