Bright End Of Nowhere

Matthew Good · Avalanche [2003]

Here's the bright end of nowhere

Here's the result of all our days

Used to lay on the roof and drink beer

And try and count up all the ways

That you could waste away

Looking back it seemed so simple

But having done it I couldn't say

The lights are out, baby

And I'm a mouse

The lights are out, baby

So hear me out

The lights are out, baby

And I'm a mouse

So here's the bright end of nowhere

Here's the commercial of all our days

Go on vacations and drink beer

And try and forget all the ways

We let ourselves get away

Looking back it seemed so simple

But having done it, it's not the same

The lights are out, baby

And I'm a mouse

The lights are out, baby

So hear me out

The lights are out, baby

And I'm a mouse
