Bar Lights

The lottery's a lie And the bar lights Stay on 'till midnight The fortune teller's tale Was a trick that sent us Running to the floodlight Searching for more Than what we had already Ran 'till our legs went sore For a moment of clarity Wake up in a place That seems unfamiliar to the eye Your old apartment is an eyesore That I tried to erase out of my mind Call me when you're bored We'll go chase for the jackpot Run 'till our legs go sore Then stare at stars from the asphalt We're in search for something beautiful We wanted all or nothing together Now all we have to look forward to Is drinking down our midnight adventures Sin city seemed nice 'Till the lights started losing their shine It grew as cold as your fingertips When you tried to touch mine Now the only source of fun Is counting down the regrets Burn our throats in a minute In an hour we'll forget And I try to romanticize What it would be like If we made it to the dawn And I tried to fantasize a reality Where you stayed mine, but we Never lasted that long When the bar closes soon We'll go right back to Where we always started You leave me stranded there Desperate and broken hearted And I know, I know, I know It's as bad as it sounds But I know, I know, I know You'll come back around We're in search for something meaningful We wanted for all or nothing together Now all I have to look forward to Is drinking down our given-up endeavors And I know, I know, I know It's as bad as it sounds But I know, I know, I know You'll come back around
