lyrics

Empty street in the pouring rain
Dancing in the middle of a hurricane
A heart of gold that's laced with cocaine
While I'm lying in the shadows of a windowpane
I fall apart as I fall asleep
Making noise so the quiet can't creep
My body's shaking in between the sheets
Two suitcase lovers and a lonely heartbeat

I'm going crazy tonight
Won't you please be by my side?
Partners in crime
Hopeless romantic stuck on Eastern Standard Time

A vagrant heart and a paperback
Stuck in the middle of a panic attack
Think I was born an insomniac
You've got your safety net, I've got a new soundtrack
Cigarettes and the midnight air
Tangled in the darkness like a love affair
And as I took off her underwear
I felt a shiver down my spine and saw a signal flare

I'm feeling hazy tonight
Won't you take me for a ride?
Your eyes meet mine
Lost in enchantment, stuck on Central Standard Time

I've been so lost without the touch of your skin
Your glow and your spin and I...
I feel like a helicopter losing control
Don't ever let go
‘Cause I’m a ghostwriter
Neurotic to the core
My heart is dripping from my sleeve onto your bedroom floor
Whoa-oh-ho-ho

I’ve been so broken lately
I’ve been so tired baby
So please just stay here with me
So please just fucking save me

Consistently inconsistent dear
If you’d just give me a minute I could make things clear
You’ve got your ticket to the world premiere
First row seats to my breakdown
But I know everything will be alright
Our hearts are burning and the flame is bright
And as we sit at this traffic light
You put your hand in mine and you squeeze it tight

I’m in a chase scene tonight
Always running out of time
Just get a grip, don’t slip
And get on with your life
