Lyrics

I stare at 2nd Avenue, a coward waiting to cease Feeling for cigarettes, settling for black coffee I’ll die quickly, leaving the world the way it had been Remind myself that I’m no one, over and over again Chorus: Play “Bright Lights” all alone Play on to that empty road These hotel lights burn slow And I’m burning out just the same And nobody knows my name I stare at 5th Avenue singing “I Knew You Before” No heels on the pavement, no percussion of the slamming car doors I walk the line that divides the lions and lambs My heart’s on the concrete, still you have no idea who I am I stare at the words of poets that I’ll never be 7 AM smells like book pages and caffeine All I know is I am a hostage of love A hand-tamed tiger never knowing how heavy his life was
