Harsh Light Songtext

von Nate Ruess

Oh oh
The barkeep's in a bad mood
Playing with his chains
Talking 'bout a blood moon
Asking how I found this place
My eyes are drained from the one that got away
So tonight I'm going out; tonight I'm gonna stay out
In walks lady long boots looking for a date
I would make the first move but I'm too drunk to enunciate
Never been one to wanna hear about someone's day
So tonight I'm going out; tonight I'm gonna stay out
And it's so hard just to breathe
There's such a fine line between the things you want and the things that you need

So I'm not going to sleep
Slippin' into midnight under harsh lights
And nothing gets me down
Running into old friends; I don't need anymore
Tonight I'm gonna show them
We all got scars
We all got scars
We all got scars
We all got scars so what?
I'm slippin' into midnight under harsh lights
And nothing here is bringing me down

And my heart is always breaking for the ghosts that haunt this room
We fall asleep to revolution
We wake up to another sad excuse
Oh what a shame how we got in our way
So tonight I'm going out; tonight I'm gonna stay out
And it's so hard not to scream
There's such a fine line between the things you are and the things that you've been

Slippin' into midnight under harsh lights
And nothing gets me down
Up above the past loves I don't need anymore
Tonight I'm gonna show them
We all got scars
We all got scars
We all got scars
We all got scars so what?

I'm slippin' into midnight under harsh lights
And nothing here is bringing me down

I'm scared that I'm becoming a satellite
On the sadder side of the moon
Convinced that anyone stood by my side
Now you're on the other side of the room
But I get this funny feeling that tonight is gonna be much better than it's been
I thought that I could keep my eyes open
Until the light shines in
Oh

And it's so hard just to be
There's such a fine line
There's such a fine line
Such a fine line
But I'm not sleeping tonight

Slippin' into midnight on the harsh light
And nothing gets me down
Running into old friends; I don't need anymore
Tonight I'm gonna show them
We all got scars
We all got scars
We all got scars
We all got scars so what?

I'm slippin' into midnight under harsh lights
And nothing here is bringing me down
Nothing here is bringing me down
And nothing here is bringing me down
