lyrics

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
