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
