When The Light Turns Blue

Holiday 03:20
On a holiday With a broken band When you’re alone on guitar and the drums at the bar and the bass stole the van Well the spotlights off Is this thing on Sweat is pouring like beer and they all know you’re but they can tell that you’re gone Well you won’t get too far with acoustic guitar trying to make a stand To a wasted crowd who’s crying out loud you know you can’t get through On a holiday Packing up your things That one girl at the bar you throught was singing your song was just another dream The door slams goodnight Now you’re no one again And you look for some sign all the way till its time to turn off the light Well you won’t get too far with acoustic guitar strumming in the dark To a shallow crowd who echos the sound you know you can’t get through On a Holiday On a Holiday Na na na na Well you won’t get too far with acoustic guitar trying to make a stand To a wasted crowd who’s crying out loud you know you can’t get through Well you won’t get too far with acoustic guitar strumming in the dark To a shallow crowd who echos the sound you know you can’t get through On a Holiday On a Holiday On a Holiday On a Holiday On a Holiday On a Holiday

So it starts lighting candles in your pocket So the flames can feel the air under your nose You’re a clown outside the window a recluse inside your mind What do you do when the light turns blue So it starts when all parties leave the room When all the magic promised fades away too soon All that attention that feeds you leave you hungry and misused What do you do when the light turns blue So you could say you’d do it all again So you could say you’ve lost and found your only friend What do you do when the light turns blue I spent my money on fancy meals and limousines I flew up women just to toss and turn between I played the fool just for the laugh I danced the heart out of the man That’s all before the light turns blue You couldn’t stay within a dream you got caught up stuck between What do you do when the light turns blue So you could say you’d do it all again So you could say you’ve lost and found your only friend What can you do when the light turns blue What can you do when the light turns blue What can you do when the light turns blue

Do you know what it’s like to be stuck Do you know what it’s like deep down in a hole You wake up too late You fall out too soon You think too much in a crowded room Do you know what it’s like to feel heat Do you know what it’s like to be cold as ice You’re a runaway In your own backyard If you stay too late You might not come back Right now I just can’t get through I could be talking to you Right now I just can’t get through Meanwhile I’m just here Spinning round Do you know what it’s like to fall down Do you know what it’s like to burn yourself to the ground A reverse effect keeps you off the tracks If you stay too late You might not come back Right now I just can’t get through I could be talking to you Right now I just can’t get through Meanwhile I’m just here Spinning round Spinning round and round and sleeping through the days Spinning round and round and sleeping through the days through the days through the days Right now I just can’t get through I could be talking to you Right now I just can’t get through Meanwhile I’m just here Spinning round Meanwhile I’m just here Meanwhile I’m just here

I know that I am hung up to dry. But I'm still drunk and I am cold. I love you but you want much more. I'll think for hour but then walk out the door. When it rains it pours I've told lies and cheated all my life. Told some for good and some to make things right. But I need you, I need you to understand. I'll walk for miles but won't make it back. When the light turns black I'm a mess that won't clean up. You're a tin can I'm paper cup. This ship has sailed yeah we're fresh out of luck. In the wake of a sweet memory. I wanna tell you how i really feel. But I don't know if what I mean is real. But I taunt you just like i taunt myself Ring in the fire and we can't get out When the flames take flight I am the winner of a losing game. I loved to love but now I'm lost in vain. Just do me please forget my name. I can't go on if things remain the same. What I've lost is me.
