Shifts

We only have tonight
Sing along
With all that's gone wrong
Because your knives are getting sharp
And your lungs are getting black
And there'll be no going back
By the time you get that far
I'll be gone
While you're still young
Before your hands go dry and numb from all the work they've never done
Before you're tired of coming home and finding all your kids in love
So tell your man to watch your coat, he'll be on his fucking own this time
Me and you sticking close, and you won't be going home tonight
So go ahead turn off the light
You said you wanna change your life
And we only have tonight
So every time you see his ghost
You'll be thinking of your own short time
How it's all been going slow, and how you never should've drove that night
This is not a shift of time, this is a shift of what is right
(This is not a shift of the light)
And we only have tonight
So tell your man to watch your coat, he'll be on his fucking own this time
Me and you sticking close, and you won't be going home tonight
Tonight
Tonight
