Rust Belt Lights Sleep Tight
A lonely walk back home tonight.
I think I’ll stay up late enough to see the light.
The sunrise reminds me of how little time, how little time I have left.
Everything I can’t forget.
And you could be what this means to me.
And we’re just like drops of rain tonight.
Falling so fast, landing only to collapse into a million pieces,
slip through the cracks and creases.
If we slip one little bit,
there’s nothing left but gravity and hard pavement.
If we slip one little bit,
there’s nothing left but gravity and hard pavement.
For all the times we stayed up all night,
never knowing that was then and it’ll never be the same again.
For all the times we stayed up all night,
never knowing...
You’ll wake up tomorrow wishing you could change today.
I’ll wake up tomorrow wishing I had known the words to say.
And you can sleep tonight knowing I’ll be alright.
Oh captain, my captain, we never meant to let you die.
And if you wake up scared, just know I'll soon be there.
Oh captain, my captain, thanks for the times we shared.
