Light at night put some records on, never heard them before Pushed the chairs back, lay down, threw the sleeves on the floor When you’ve waded out this far, your feet they often slip Makes it so hard day to day, hard to find your grip Oh, you don’t have to convince me Oh, I’m already there But try to tell me again Can't stay here Can't see clear Stuck in first gear Got to move on Late at night heard the street below, getting louder it seems Calling out in an aching note, tangled up in a dream There’s a point that I cannot pass, a no-end crossing in me And when its all been said and done, we never cared to agree Oh, you don’t have to convince me Oh, I’m already there But try to tell me again Can't stay here Can't see clear Stuck in first gear Got to move on

A Way Out 03:50
Look at the houses from the streets late at night, glowing with illusionary light Familiar disguises, I’ve seen them before, a hundred times, less, or maybe more To you it’s the way out, to me it’s just an ordinary door To use is to play out, an endless scene I’ve seen it all before Oh, sonorous suburban tones, buried with the bones beneath the floor And now I see my face contort in the moonlight, I’m holding on to you for dear life And now I hear my voice distort in the sunlight, I know its going to be a long goodbye To you it’s the way out, to me it’s just an ordinary door To use is to play out, an endless scene I’ve seen it all before Oh, sonorous suburban tones, buried with the bones beneath the floor

Love Lights 04:38
The cold night air came sliding in Across my lips and over the words held in It stirred deep in my head The thoughts I’d left for dead Because there’s nothing I can do And is there any point carrying through? To the end of a war forlorn When the love light’s gone out So far from home And there’s a feeling you’re drifting And you're not alone On the road ahead there’ll be no turning back To the way we felt, from the marks left on her back I’ll crash before the end And there’ll be no words to mend Because there is nothing I can do And is there any point carrying through? To the end of a war forlorn When the love lights gone out So far from home And there’s a feeling you’re drifting And you're not alone I’ve gone too far this time, I’m breaking up In the winding currents pouring in and up I’ll drown before I land There’ll be no helping hand Because there is nothing I can do And is there any point carrying through? To the end of a war forlorn When the love lights gone out So far from home And there’s a feeling you’re drifting And you're not alone

Never Met 04:19
Well we’ve never met and I doubt that we will But your call to me is so steady and shrill If I had more words, I’d fill up the page But my mind is empty, does it read in my gaze? The moon was out as I rode home tonight Lighting up everyone equally bright When you turn to me in the quiet of my mind It’s a pleasure I get that can’t be designed Has it been this long? Who’d have thought I’d play along? Where did you learn, right from wrong? So the screens have moved, just once more unheard Pulling up everything and without a word I leave the lights out sometimes when I’m home It’s just a simple way, to stay on my own
