Every Night

Every night I come home in the dark
I got no one to talk to
No one to call
Every night I walk by the same old buildings
I carry the same old bag
Same old feelings

I’m just a dot on a page
Probably just a mistake
Singing those words on a stage
Stealing the real from the fakes
I’m just a kid of your age
Who’s made a lot of mistakes
Still working minimum wage
Staying away from the snakes

I’m reminiscing on the old me
I always had something to say
I know the end of the story
Now everything bores me

Headed to the north
Headed to the west
One day I’m the worst
One day I’m the best (what if my next breath is a bad one?)

Some days I’m stuck in the future
Some days there ain’t even one
I got lost in the bigger picture
Who said that it would be fun

Every night I come home in the dark
I got no one to talk to
No one to call
Every night I walk by the same old buildings
I carry the same old bag
Same old feelings

I’m just a dot on a page
Probably just a mistake
Singing those words on a stage
Stealing the real from the fakes
I’m just a kid of your age
Who’s made a lot of mistakes
Still working minimum wage
Staying away from the snakes
