Red Lights

In all good faith and sentiment
 I can't believe somehow
 That I haven't died of something
 Since you left this town
 I'm all undecorated, cigarettes
 Standard white apartment walls
 And 3 a.m. and 4 a.m., it's impossible to sleep
 I'll do anything to hold you, to feel you next to me
 But I'm all sore eyes and beast at my backdoor
 Pulling out their claws
 So yes, I will take those, whatever else they give me
 If it stops the nightmares, it probably won't kill me
 And if I slow it down, I'll end up on one of my accusers' knives
 So I only stop to tell her that I love her
 At the red lights (ooh-ooh-ooh)
 At the red lights (ooh-ooh-ooh)
 And all in all, I'm wrecked you see from years of piping down
 And piping up about the things that never mattered anyhow
 When you change too much, you lose yourself
 And sometimes you just don't get them back
 And you might be an angel or a devil, I don't know
 But if in fact you are now, love, well, I've been there before
 And I've fallen on my face, and I've been burned so near to death
 I probably won't live through it anyhow
 So yes, I will take those, whatever else they give me
 If it stops the nightmares, it probably won't kill me
 And if I slow it down, I'll end up on one of my accusers' knives
 So I only stop to tell her that I love her
 At the red lights (ooh-ooh-ooh)
 At the red lights (ooh-ooh-ooh)
 Mmm-mmm
