South of the City Lights

I've been learning how to do it all the hard way
Saving up, burning up my yesterdays
Trying so hard not to believe
Take a bite of the lies that you've been feeding me

Tell me something that I don't know, leave me with those eyes
I'll be right here waiting south of the city lights

Wish I'd a listened to my brother when he told me
Loving her is only gonna leave you lonely
Don't believe in fate and careful who you love
They don't care out there where you're coming from

Tell me something that I don't know, leave me with those eyes
I'll be right here waiting south of the city lights

It's been a long time coming
Finding out that I don't know it all
It's always good when you get it
And don't take too long 'til you wanna go

Now I just sit and stare at white walls all the time
Wish you would somehow hear that I ain't doing fine
I'll never be the same, I'll never love again
I'll never leave this mess that I've been living in

Tell me something that I don't know, leave me with those eyes
I'll be right here waiting, south of the city lights
South of the city lights, south of the city lights
