We Want the Lights

i don't want
all my promises
that keep me looking so high
and have me long just getting by

waking up
on a thursday night
not quite sure where we are
she tries to tell me it's all right
all right all right all right said

(chorus)
we want the lights
the lights that they're living
don't want the life
the life we've been given

i don't fall
on this motorway
like they always seem to
and if i do
then it's one way

catch my face
in the window pane
each time i can't be sure
it's looking older all the time
the time the time the time goes

(chorus)

(bridge)
now just take what you can get
and get around it now
every time i see my future
it's all in the rearview mirror
what i'd give for someone looking now

(chorus)
