Lost It in the Lights

Lyrics

[Verse 1] It's newly summer and Tony Bourdain died I'm laying down in the shower staring up at a broken light There's something screaming out from in my vent at night It's shaking the house, it's trying to get out It wants to tell me another lie [Verse 2] What if, what if, what if, what if, what if the magic's gone? And I guess I should be glad that there was any at all From 50th and Cedar to Richmond off of Front I guess I should be glad that there was any at all [Pre-Chorus 1] And the city coughs me out Like a splinter in my wrist Getting pushed out of my skin And the city coughs me out [Chorus] When I was seventeen I wrote a song about how I'm drinking kerosene To light a fire in my gut And I'll be coughing out embers for decades to come I was seventeen with a fire in my gut [Verse 3] What if, what if, what if, what if, what if the magic's gone? I guess I should be glad that I was still in the fight It's right there waiting for me (Right there waiting for me) I've lost it in the lights (I've lost it in the lights) I guess I should be glad that I was still in the fight [Pre-Chorus 2] And the city coughs me out Like a splinter in my wrist [Chorus] When I was seventeen I wrote a song about how I'm drinking kerosene To light a fire in my gut And I'll be coughing out embers for decades to come I was seventeen with a fire in my gut [Bridge] And the city coughs me out (The city coughs me out) Like a splinter in my wrist (Like a splinter in my wrist) Getting pushed out of my skin It's getting forced out of my skin [Chorus] When I was seventeen I wrote a song about how I'm drinking kerosene To light a fire in my gut And I'll be coughing out embers for decades to come I was seventeen with a fire in my gut I was seventeen with a fire in my gut
