You're talking for more than an hour
Without pausing to breathe
I'm getting tired of your future plans
And why I'm not able to leave?
Well I know that this is far from perfect
But at least I have a place to call home
You will clearly make a career over there
Get some kids and work your hands to the bone
But if you think I'm struggling
Than just because, I'm successfully not giving up
Oh can't you see, I truly know
I know how to survive
Why don't you pause to breathe
The future seems so bright at night and can't you see?
Oh can't you see?
Oh can't you see, oh can't you see?
Now you're married and you've built your own house
And I no longer see you around
You're silently judging the choices I've made
Yeah sure! You got it all figured out
But if you think I'm struggling
Than just because, I'm successfully not giving up
Oh can't you see, I truly know
I know how to survive
Why don't you pause to breathe
The future seems so bright at night and can't you see?
Oh can't you see?
Oh can't you see, oh can't you see?
And everything that I've been through
Has brought me to this fucking place
This goddamn city and all my friends
This has brought me to these dire nights
Too much alcohol, the future's bright
The future seems so bright at night
I truly know
I know how to survive
Why don't you pause to breathe
The future seems so bright at night and can't you see?
I truly know
I know how to survive
Why don't you pause to breathe
The future seems so bright at night
The future seems so bright at night
And now you pause to breathe
The future seems so bright at night
