[Verse 1]
There's no use crying when you're alone at night
There's no use crying when you're at home in daylight

Press release and whistle tunes
That keep you going through the pain
Time to think is time to gain
Silver lining lead balloons
Press release and change the tunes
I left my dreams in a rental car
Live for now and dream afar
