Streetlights flicker to life with the setting summer sun
Playing back a film of yesterday
When this life was ours for the taking
We were know-it-all punks
Stuck in a strait and narrow place
With our minds too bent
and too broad to belong
So we hit the pipe
and laughed away the nights
Dreaming of tomorrow
It's just too bad we couldn't see
The weight of our ways
And what it would mean today
Now we're stuck on repeat
In the streetlights
When summer stretched
Into fall afternoons
We spent our time
watching the world die
Soaking in the beauty
In a twisted way it was
A salve for our tattered souls
A momentary escape
From our dreams that were crashing down
The buzz was fading fast
We just wanted to be strait and narrow
Strait and narrow
At least we had each other
Just like the fall we had to die
And I found a new road to walk through life
You where left with nothing but a new curse
Blinded by the snowfall in reverse
Leaving crimson raindrops
Falling on a pillowcase
It was the only thing left
that could wash the pain from your face
