Stage Lights Lyrics

[Intro]
One two three four

[Verse 1]
Birthdays, anniversaries, and funerals go by
We're all just looking for someone to cry when we die
And your postcards and phone calls
They don't keep her warm at night
So greetings from the left coast
And I hope you're satisfied

[Pre-Chorus]
Cause I'm too old to start over
Still too young to care
Whether or not these highways
Really take me anywhere
Take me anywhere

[Chorus]
Cause when the stage lights go dim
Will I be forgiven
For running away every chance I get
And when the stage lights go dim
And the loneliness sets in
Will you stick around to help me fade away
Help me fade away
Fade away

[Verse 2]
It's so hard to say "I love you"
With your hands around my throat
We're all rushing for the exit As this room fills up with smoke
I'm better for the distance
And all that I can hope
That as the flames burn you up
I'm still around to watch you choke

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'm too old to start over
Still too young to care
Whether or not these highways
Really take us anywhere
Take us anywhere
Anywhere
Anywhere

[Chorus]
Cause when the stage lights go dim
Will I be forgiven
For running away every chance I could
Cause when the stage lights go dim
And the walls come tumbling in
Will you be around to help me fade away
So when the stage lights go dim
Will I be forgiven
For running away every chance I could
And when the stage lights go dim
And the loneliness sets in
Will you stick around to help me fade away
Help me fade away
Fade away
