Red Lights

[Verse 1]
In all good faith and sentiment, I can't believe somehow
That I haven't died of grief or something since you left this town
I'm all undecorated, cigarettes
Standard white apartment walls

[Verse 2]
And 3 AM and 4 AM, it's impossible to sleep
I'd do anything to hold you, to feel you next to me
But I'm all sore eyes and beasts at my back door
Are pulling out their claws

[Chorus]
So yes, I will take those, whatever else they give me
If it stops the nightmares, and probably won’t kill me
And if I slow it down, I’ll end up on one of my accusers' knives
So I only stop to tell her that I love her at the red lights
At the red lights
At the red lights

[Verse 3]
And all in all, I'm wrecked, you see, from years of piping down
And piping up about the things that never mattered anyhow
When you change too much, you lose yourself
And sometimes you just don't get them back

[Verse 4]
And you might be an angel or a devil, I don’t know
But if in fact you are, now love, well, I’ve been there before
I’ve fallen on my face and I’ve been burned so near to death
I probably won’t live through it anyhow

[Chorus]
So yes, I will take those, whatever else they give me
If it stops the nightmares and probably won’t kill me
And if I slow it down, I’ll end up on one of my accusers' knives
So I only stop to tell her that I love her at the red lights
At the red lights

[Chorus]
So yes, I will take those, whatever else they give me
If it stops the nightmares and probably won’t kill me
And if I slow it down, I’ll end up on one of my accusers' knives
So I only stop to tell her that I love her at the red lights
