Long Nights and Fist Fights

She enters the room

and I'm dying to get out

But I am sinking too soon

I know this will never last

Just let the moment pass

And maybe I'll be alright for a while



Hiding my face

I never knew what was happening

Such a lonely disgrace

To the whole human race

Standing around in the room

I think it's time we walk around for a while...a while



Then you...



Rev your engines

And stay out late

This day will never last

And the sun is slowly rising fast

It's a quarter past 8

And I'm not even tired at all

So now I fall

Passed out on the ground...



So, she told me her name

She wrote it on a stationary

It was left in my room

But right now is still too soon

I cannot remember her face

Or what happened last night...last night



Someone kicked me while I was down

And all I can remember

Was being kicked from all around

Now my head is bleeding heavily

I never used to get in fights

But I guess I started something last night...last night





Rev your engines

And stay out late

This day will never last

And the sun is slowly rising

It's a quarter past 8

And I'm not even tired at all

So now I fall

Punched at from all around...



Scream my name!





I told you some

Some useless information

That got out of control...out of control

Now the cops won't even listen

And I'm running out of hope

Maybe I should pick up the phone and call



Say "I know who you are"

"But I don't remember much"

"Except for driving your car"

"I know we didn't even really

Get that far..."

Then your ex picked up the phone to call...to call me



Rev your engines

And stay out late

This day will never last

The sun is slowly rising fast

It's a quarter past 8

And I'm not even tired at all

So now I fall

Tired of wasting minutes...



You won't see me around at all
