spent the night with some girl i didn't like
woke up singing loud to Mack the Knife
last night i tried to end up back at your place
but i ended up at mine, cause someone picked a fight
it's gonna be alright
makes me feel like crying
wanna know why people walk around pretending they're not dying
i knew a girl who knew a girl who strung herself up like a kite
and she was alright, until she wasn't.
walk the line, go on, give it a try
keep your toes pointed forward toward the light
on the final flight
there's blood on the stairs
there's butter in the gutter from someone's cheap affairs
and there's fun facts like when you're in the air,
you peak like you're on top of someone gasping in your hair
hold on, hold on
closer
stay with me, i want a partner on the dancefloor
i want to bet more
i want to give more
i'm not sure more and more
wander through dark rooms
asking people if there's room
i could see the light, it's dancing in the ceiling
this is what it's like to look up from the bottom of the ocean
and see that the sun has broken
and i can see your face when i close my eyes
it's burnt there on my eyelids
i feel your back running through my hands
i count my blessings before they're matched
some are in darkness
others are in light
see the ones in brightness
those dark ones fade from sight.
