Lost It in the Lights

[Verse 1]
It's newly summer and Tony Bourdain died
I'm laying down in the shower staring up at a broken light
There's something screaming out from in my vent at night
It's shaking the house, it's trying to get out
It wants to tell me another lie

[Verse 2]
What if, what if, what if, what if, what if the magic's gone?
And I guess I should be glad that there was any at all
From 50th and Cedar to Richmond off of Front
I guess I should be glad that there was any at all

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And the city coughs me out
Like a splinter in my wrist
Getting pushed out of my skin
And the city coughs me out

[Chorus]
When I was seventeen
I wrote a song about how I'm drinking kerosene
To light a fire in my gut
And I'll be coughing out embers for decades to come
I was seventeen with a fire in my gut

[Verse 3]
What if, what if, what if, what if, what if the magic's gone?
I guess I should be glad that I was still in the fight
It's right there waiting for me (Right there waiting for me)
I've lost it in the lights (I've lost it in the lights)
I guess I should be glad that I was still in the fight

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And the city coughs me out
Like a splinter in my wrist

[Chorus]
When I was seventeen
I wrote a song about how I'm drinking kerosene
To light a fire in my gut
And I'll be coughing out embers for decades to come
I was seventeen with a fire in my gut

[Bridge]
And the city coughs me out (The city coughs me out)
Like a splinter in my wrist (Like a splinter in my wrist)
Getting pushed out of my skin
It's getting forced out of my skin

[Chorus]
When I was seventeen
I wrote a song about how I'm drinking kerosene
To light a fire in my gut
And I'll be coughing out embers for decades to come
I was seventeen with a fire in my gut
I was seventeen with a fire in my gut
