The Brightest Bulb Has Burned Out / Screws Fall Out

Lyrics

[Part I: The Brightest Bulb Has Burned Out] [Verse 1] You told me that your twenty years Have gone by much too fast And you've been hoping this year will be Better than the last You said you've been waging a war Against the loneliest of nights With the strongest drinks and longest lines It's not that big a surprise That you're feeling more dead than alive You're feeling more dead than alive [Chorus] So I'll let you know If you need somewhere to go I'll be listening when you call And I'll be there if you fall off If you need someone to believe in you I'll let you know I will [Verse 2] You said the hole in your head has gotten Bigger than the hole that's in your chest And you're stuck between the past and present tense You said you've been waging a war Against so many years of lies With stronger drinks and longer lines It's not that big a surprise That you're feeling more dead than alive You're feeling more dead than alive [Chorus] So I'll let you know If you need somewhere to go I'll be listening when you call And I'll be there if you fall off If you need someone to believe in you I'll let you know I will I'll let you know I will I'll let you know I will [Bridge] But sometimes... [Part II: Screws Fall Out] [Refrain] You gotta let it go! Gotta let it go! [Verse 3] So this pen is starting to become A pipe bomb, and these songs Have turned to anthems again To everything that's changed And to everything that's gone away Here's my condolences To the future I never met It's gone and never coming back It's not coming back So don't hold on to your past [Refrain] You gotta let it go! Gotta let it go! [Chorus] 'Cause friends leave as time fades away The people and the places along the way Without a doubt Yeah, screws fall in and screws, they fall out [Verse 4] Tomorrow's gone up in smoke And I wonder when I'm alone Where'd my convictions go? So to everyone that's gone away Or fades away or stays the same Here's my apologies To the person that I used to be Before I burned down every bridge And every inch of everything I used to know [Refrain] I gotta let it go! Gotta let it go! [Chorus] 'Cause friends leave as time fades away The people and the places along the way Without a doubt Yeah, screws fall in and screws, they fall out [Bridge] Friends leave as time fades away The people and the places along the way So don't hold on to your past No, it's never coming back (You gotta let it go!) 'Cause friends leave as time fades away The people and the places along the way (You gotta let it go!) Without a doubt Yeah, screws fall in and screws fall out [Outro] Friends leave as time fades away The people and the places along the way Without a doubt Yeah, screws fall in and screws fall out Without a doubt Yeah, screws fall in and screws fall out Without a doubt Yeah, screws fall in and screws fall out Without a doubt Yeah, screws fall in and screws fall out Without a doubt Yeah, screws fall in and screws, they fall out
