lyrics

Another Friday night, I got no plans to keep me from my bed
And even if I did, I know I wouldn't have the money for it and
I'd sing my songs in bars but they'd just bum people out at best
They'd rather hear an acoustic cover of "Just Give Me A Reason" or "Moves Like Jagger"
It's not that I hate pop songs it's just sad songs are more my thing
Call it catharsis or complaining, just don't complain to me

But you're out there
Somewhere out there
And you see the same things I do
And this song's my
Lost wolf cry
So sing along cause I'm howling to hear you

Meet me on the last train home
I don't like these long commutes alone
And I spend too much time on my own
The way everyone else wastes theirs on their phones
And in the night, I can't sleep right
I'm running out of feel-good quotes
To keep my thoughts in line
But at least this time, I know I'll end up alright

Another empty night, and this place can't seem to keep me from my head
It's crowded here but it's just me and these empty bottles of beer
I can't pretend to be interested in NBA talk and sports car specs
Maybe I could've just stayed in bed but there's still no new episode of The Walking Dead
I don't have anyone here to talk to about Aaron West And The Roaring Twenties
I'm just dodging cigarette smoke, but I'd rather be bored here than bored at home alone

But you're out there
Somewhere out there
And you see the same things I do
And this song's my
Lost wolf cry
So sing along cause I'm howling to hear you

Meet me on the last train home
I don't like these long commutes alone
And I spend too much time on my own
The way everyone else wastes theirs on their phones
And in the night, I can't sleep right
I'm running out of feel-good quotes
To keep my thoughts in line
But at least this time, I know I'll end up alright

Though I know I'll be fine
I could use some reassurance
So I'm hoping that one day
Soon I'll see you in existence
And I wouldn't have to dream
Just to wake up in disappointment
I guess I hate the thought of being
A non-special kind of different
Oh, I know I'll be fine
But I could use some reassurance
I'm 19 and I'm hoping
That my 20's won't be hopeless
I'm done with dragging my feet
Like the past was in my shoes
So I'm burning the bridge between me
And who I thought I should be
