Street Light
Lonely Nights Under Neon Glow
Lyrics
Self righteous, self assured
Feeling morally superior, confident
You hung onto every word
Hanging onto every spoken word
Sending flowers to my grave, well
Sending gestures of sympathy to my demise
Turned out I'm not so brave
Discovering I lack the courage I thought I had
A cold night, the warm bus ride
Experiencing a chilly night, riding a warm bus
Suffocate and I try to die, I
Feeling suffocated and attempting self-destruction
Lay with your note in hand, well
Lying with your written message in hand
I'm just too drunk to stand
Being too intoxicated to stand
I've been waiting here all on my own
Waiting alone for an extended period
Standing in the dark, under the orange street light glow
Standing in darkness beneath the orange street light
I stand here waiting all alone
Continuing to wait in solitude
Wasting all my time, that's all I've ever known
Wasting time, as it's the only experience known
Self righteous, self assured
Reiterating a sense of moral superiority and confidence
You hung onto every word
Still holding onto each uttered word
Sending flowers to my grave, well
Expressing condolences even in death
Turned out I'm not so brave
Realizing a lack of bravery in the face of challenges
A cold night, the warm bus ride
Experiencing a cold night and a comforting bus ride
Suffocate and I try to die, I
Feeling suffocated and attempting self-destruction again
Lay with your note in hand, well
Lying with your written message in hand once more
I'm just too drunk to stand
Being too intoxicated to stand, a recurring theme
I've been waiting here all on my own
Continuing the prolonged wait in isolation
Standing in the dark, under the orange street light glow
Standing in the dark, under the glow of an orange street light
I stand here waiting all alone
Persisting in waiting, feeling abandoned
Wasting all my time, that's all I've ever known
Consistently wasting time, a familiar pattern
Remember when you held my hand, guess I'm still too drunk to stand
Recalling a past moment of intimacy, hindered by intoxication
Been waiting on my own
Continuing to wait in solitude
Standing all alone
Remaining alone and standing in isolation
Standing on my own
Standing independently, perhaps signifying resilience
