It’s getting late, maybe I should go
Go find my baby where the lights are low
I told myself I wouldn’t drink to spite her
But here I am with another Shiner
I’m uptown at a crowded bar
Thinking about the band and where they are
The sleepless years we were running wild
Bleeding hearts and half-drunk smiles
Does it hurt when you hear my name?
When you smile does it feel the same?
Are you lonely or just alone?
To tell the truth I don’t really know
I was almost gone, you grabbed me again
And said it almost feels like it did back then
You asked if things were turning round
I said not so much but I won’t get down
Does it hurt when you hear my name?
When you smile does it feel the same?
Are you lonely or just alone?
To tell the truth I don’t really know
It’s getting late
I will see you later
It’s getting late
I will see you later
It’s getting late
I will see you later
It’s getting late
I will see you later

Coming Down

I tried not to slip
Sank into a leather chair and lost my grip
Shut my eyes to keep my cool but started burning up
I needed you to give enough
To get me through the worst of it
Oh I’m coming down
The record’s spinning slowly round
You are telling jokes again
To bring me back from where I’ve been
I could die tonight beside you babe
A beam of light beneath a spot of shade
I lived a long life tonight
My busy mind was trying to catch the flecks of light
I heard you say we’re fighting wars that won’t be won
Until the day we both are gone
But we will be alright
Oh I’m coming down
The record’s spinning slowly round
You are telling jokes again
To bring me back from where I’ve been
I could die tonight beside you babe
A beam of light beneath a spot of shade
I can’t help but stop and stare
Your words are hanging in the air
Trading secrets in the dark
Brushing off the petty painful parts
Feels like I’m finally coming down
The record’s spinning slowly round
You are telling jokes again
To bring me back from where I’ve been
I could die tonight beside you babe
A beam of light beneath a spot of shade
I could die tonight beside you babe
A beam of light beneath a spot of shade

Far away
Losing track of time
Smoking cigars we dipped in honey
Finding new ways to spend our money
Along the way
Trying to read the signs
Walking the backstreets and pathways
Past the tobacco fields and bad days
All the way out here
You could almost start forgetting things
Are not as they appear
Driving west down the mountain range
Well I never could quite get its name right
Cause you're catching my eye
Under an open sky
In the backseat of an old sedan that ran along the seaside
To ease our lonely minds, oh honey
It was a dream
Music floated up
Was it all a scene of distant lovers
Were we only hiding under covers?
Close your eyes
Try to soak it up
Cause you know no matter who we follow
They're probably going to kick us out tomorrow
All the way out here
You could almost start forgetting things
Are not as they appear
Driving west down the mountain range
Well I never could quite get its name right
Cause you're catching my eye
Under an open sky
In the backseat of an old sedan that ran along the seaside
To ease our lonely minds, oh honey
All the way out here
You could almost start forgetting things
Are not as they appear
Driving west down the mountain range
Well I never could quite get its name right
Cause you're catching my eye
Under an open sky
In the backseat of an old sedan that ran along the seaside
To ease our lonely minds, oh honey

I know it's getting hard
There's so much you're holding in
And your heart is feeling fragile
When the night is closing in
Still, I stand by what I said
There's no other place to start
Than with your weary feet beneath you
Climbing canyons in the dark
You and I were following the signs we found outside
They only were leading each of us to run and hide
Again I'm standing at your door
Have I always been naive?
Well on second thought don't answer that
I see it on my sleeve
I've been looking for a storm
So one is always blowing in
And my heart is feeling fragile
When the night is closing in
Still, I stand by what I said
There's no other place to start
Than hearing each other breathing
And climbing canyons in the dark
You and I were following the signs we found outside
They only were leading each of us to run and hide
You and I were following the signs we found outside
They only were leading each of us to run and hide
You and I were following the signs we found outside
They only were leading each of us to run and hide
