Isabel Rose - Bar Lights

The lottery's a lie
And the bar lights
Stay on 'till midnight
The fortune teller's tale
Was a trick that sent us
Running to the floodlight
Searching for more
Than what we had already
Ran 'till our legs went sore
For a moment of clarity

Wake up in a place
That seems unfamiliar to the eye
Your old apartment is an eyesore
That I tried to erase out of my mind
Call me when you're bored
We'll go chase for the jackpot
Run 'till our legs go sore
Then stare at stars from the asphalt

We're in search for something beautiful
We wanted all or nothing together
Now all we have to look forward to
Is drinking down our midnight adventures

Sin city seemed nice
'Till the lights started losing their shine
It grew as cold as your fingertips
When you tried to touch mine
Now the only source of fun
Is counting down the regrets
Burn our throats in a minute
In an hour we'll forget

And I try to romanticize
What it would be like
If we made it to the dawn
And I tried to fantasize a reality
Where you stayed mine, but we
Never lasted that long

When the bar closes soon
We'll go right back to
Where we always started
You leave me stranded there
Desperate and broken hearted
And I know, I know, I know
It's as bad as it sounds
But I know, I know, I know
You'll come back around

We're in search for something meaningful
We wanted for all or nothing together
Now all I have to look forward to
Is drinking down our given-up endeavors

And I know, I know, I know
It's as bad as it sounds
But I know, I know, I know
You'll come back around
