lyrics

Faulty streetlights remind me
Of the on and off certainty of us, I'm certain it's too late
In the night to be stumbling in these streets
It's too late in the night to be thinking thoughts like these
I'll be late tomorrow morning like I always am to everything
This second-rate heart can't take another heartbreak
No, it can't

(Oooh, oooh)

Now I'm fighting (I'm fighting) the urge to fight myself
Over trivial matters, it doesn't really matter that,
Who I was would've hated what I had become,
Well who I am likes that the old me is gone
But there are nights, too many nights I second-guess
Where I'm going, I keep going with no idea where

(Oooh, oooh)

I'll fall asleep the way I do
Passing out from watching too
Many episodes of Breaking Bad
This keeps me from thinking about
Every thing I'm now without
And realizing I spend every night this way
I think I try way too hard
To keep the loneliness away
I think try way too hard
To convince myself that I'm okay
(To convince myself that I'm okay)

Killing time while it kills me
Wasting time, I am wasting away, I'm just wasted youth
Way too young to pretend to know what love is,
But in the scope of forever aren't we all kids?
Forever hooked on the high and thrill of real-life romance
Wishing we weren't too smart so we could give it a chance

(Oooh, oooh)

I'll fall asleep the way I do
Passing out from watching too
Many episodes of Breaking Bad
This keeps me from thinking about
Every thing I'm now without
And realizing I spend every night this way
I think I try way too hard
To keep the loneliness away
I think try way too hard
To convince myself that I'm okay
(To convince myself that I'm okay)

I'll fall asleep the way I do
Passing out from drinking too
Much so I won't remember you
This keeps me from thinking about
Every one I'm now without
And realizing I spend every night this way
I shouldn't be trying this hard
To keep the loneliness away
I shouldn't be trying this hard
To convince myself that I'm okay
