The Brightest Bulb Has Burned Out

you told me that your 20 years

has gone by much too fast

and you've been hoping this year will be

better than the last

you said you've been waging a war

against the lonelist of nights

with the strongest drinks and longest lines

its not that big a surprise



that you're feeling more dead than alive x2



(chorus)

so I'll let you know

if you need somewhere to go

i'll be listening when you call and i'll be there if you fall off

if you need someone to believe in you

i'll let you know I will



you said the whole in your head has gotten bigger than the hole thats in your chest

and you're stuck between the past and present tense

said you've been waging a war against so many years of lies

with stronger drinks and longer lines

its not that big a surprise



that you're feeling more dead than alive x2



chorus



i'll let you know i will x3
