Friday should've been easier
But I felt lower than my shoes
So I threw 'em in the closet
Sunk into a screen
And burned up the afternoon
My lover waits beside me
Takes my hand
When we walk at night
We look desperately
For a couple new stars
In the same old stretch of sky
Yeah trains have a way of sounding like
They're headed out somewhere fine
I've got a way of thinking that
There's no good way but mine
I came up with a thousand ways
To escape this lion's den
But I know when the sun comes up
I'll fall right back in again
And the king plays a grand piano
While I stare a hole in the wall
Lookin' for a cheap euphoria
But I feel nothin' at all
Early in the mornin'
And late at night
Ain't as distant
As they used to be
I'm tired but this quiet
Won't let me sleep
I pour myself into distractions
And my vices into me
It's a chained up chain reaction
It's my new reality
Pictures on the walls
From better days
I took for granted all those years
What I wouldn't give
To be anywhere but here
And the king plays a grand piano
While I stare a hole in the wall
Lookin' for a cheap euphoria
But I feel nothin' at all
Early in the mornin'
And late at night
Ain't as distant
As they used to be
I'm tired but this quiet
Won't let me sleep
What I wouldn't give
To be anywhere but here
And the king plays a grand piano
While I stare a hole in the wall
Lookin' for a cheap euphoria
But I feel nothin' at all
Early in the mornin'
And late at night
Ain't as distant
As they used to be
Early in the mornin'
And late at night
Ain't as distant
As they used to be
Oh baby I'm tired but this quiet
Won't let me sleep
Oh I'm tired
But this quiet is killin' me
