THE BRIGHTEST BULB HAS BURNED OUT

You told me that your twenty years
Have gone by much too fast
And you've been hoping this year
Will be better than the last

You said you've been waging a war
Against the loneliest of nights
With the strongest drinks and the longest lines
It's not that big a surprise
That you're feeling more dead than alive
You're feeling more dead than alive

So I'll let you know
If you need
Somewhere to go
I'll be listening when you call
And I'll be there if you fall off
If you need someone to believe in you
I'll let you know
I will

You said the hole in your head has gotten bigger
Than the hole that's in your chest
And you're stuck between
The past and present tense

You said you've been waging a war
Against so many years of lies
With stronger drinks and longer lines
It's not that big a surprise
That you're feeling more dead than alive
That you're feeling more dead than alive

So I'll let you know
If you need
Somewhere to go
I'll be listening when you call
And I'll be there if you fall off
If you need someone to believe in you
I'll let you know
I will

I'll let you know
I will
