Intro:
Verse 1:
Tonight I need the bright lights
still got her face on my mind.
Heading where the talk is cheap and I'm
dressed to a "t"
so they won't notice me
Verse 2:
It's warm for October
and I've got the windows down.
The skyline whispers
her promises, the same lie each night.
Pre-Chorus:
But I force myself to believe...
Chorus:
And I swore it'd be different but how could it be?
What I came to escape is right here inside of me.
Verse 3:
The city's a desert
with photographic stars.
Each pretty face is
just a mirage, and my mouth's full of sand again.
Pre-Chorus2:
But I force myself to believe,
across the river's the cure for what's sick inside of me.
Chorus:
And I swore it'd be different but how could it be?
What I came to escape is right here inside of me.
And I swore it'd be different but how could it be?
What I came to escape is right here inside of me.
Bridge:
I look in the mirror past the buildings,
the sky's getting light.
Another piece of my innocence is the admission
I paid there tonight.
Slow down past her exit though it makes me sick, and I
imagine her saying,
"You're better than this
you're better than this."
Chorus:
And I swore it'd be different but how could it be?
What I came to escape is right here inside of me.
And I swore it'd be different but how could it be?
What I came to escape is right here inside of me.
Whoa-Whoa
And I swore it'd be different
