Leaving the Bar

up to the bar with your head in your hands

your friends are the stars and the sky is their bed

youre stuck down here and its all that you have and its nothing

the voice in your head that goes just what was said

the laughter in here makes you wish you were dead

but everyone round is a ghost instead and theyre nothing

the longer that you wait

the more that they can take

and if you do nothing at all

how will you know a mistake?

been followed around by the clouds from outside

longer than you will admit to or hide

wipe off your nose and dry out your red eyes and feel somethin

cause its waiting above and its waiting below

the stairs on the street shoot right through your soul

people who hurry with someplace to go

and youre nowhere

the longer that you wait

the more that you will ache

if you do nothin at all

how you know a mistake?

and look up from the pages to see whos around

no one sees no one so far this down

know you can escape know you can get out if you need to

so you follow your heart out and put up your hand

a car on the street stops to let you right in

its shines like a star and when you get in

you are shining

please dont make this mistake

its more than you can take

if you need to let go

who'll be the one to know

yeah if you need to let go

you are the one who'll know.
