Grand Romantic

The barkeep’s in a bad mood
playing with his change
talking ‘bout a blood moon
asking how I found this place
My eyes all drained from the one that got away
so tonight I’m going out
Tonight I’m gonna stay out


In walks lady long boots
looking for a date
I would make the first move
but I’m too drunk to annunciate
Never been one to want to hear about someone’s day
so tonight I’m going out
Tonight I’m gonna stay out


And it’s so hard just to be
There’s such a fine line between the things you want
and the things that you need
So I’m not goin’ to sleep


I’m slipping into midnight
under harsh light
and nothing gets me down
Running into old friends I don’t need anymore
tonight I’m gonna show ‘em
We all got scars
We all got scars
We all got scars
We all got scars so what?
I’m slipping into midnight
under harsh light
and nothing here is bringing me down


And my heart is always breaking
for the ghosts that haunt this room
We fall asleep to revolution
but wake up next to a sad excuse
Oh what a shame how we got in our own way
so tonight I’m going out
Tonight I’m gonna stay out


And it’s so hard not to scream
There’s such a fine line between the things you are
and the things that you’ve been


Slipping into midnight
under harsh light
and nothing gets me down
Up above the past loves I don’t need anymore
tonight I’m gonna show ‘em
We all got scars
We all got scars
We all got scars
We all got scars so what?
I’m slipping into midnight
under harsh light
and nothing here is bringing me down


I’m scared that I’m becoming a satellite
on the saddest side of the moon
Convinced that if you’d ever stood by my side
now you’re on the other side of the room


But I get this funny feeling that tonight is gonna end
much better than it’s been
I’m fighting hard to keep my eyes open
and let the light shine in
