The Dregs Lyrics
Turn The Lights Back On Pt.2
Turn the lights back on
Maybe Melissa will sing us one of her songs
Fill our hearts until they burst out of our chests
And the holes they leave behind can be a place the birds will nest
I don’t want to live like this anymore
Drifting, dead at sea
Hoping that I wash up on some shore
I need an anchor
Well, our clocks are keeping someone else’s time
There’s a catapult. We’re all next in line
Our hands shake. Our teeth ache
Our backs break. Our earth quakes
Our mistakes----all of our mistakes
Oh, the lord gives. The lord takes
Turn the lights back on
Maybe Melissa will sing us one of her songs
Fill our hearts until they burst out of our chests
And the holes they leave behind can be a place the birds will nest because
I don’t want to live like this anymore
Streetlights are burned out, and I can’t seem to recognize my door
I need a flashlight
Call out from hands and knees:
The falling leaves
The rising seas
The late-charge fees
The enemies…
Turn the lights back on
Maybe Melissa will sing us one of her songs
Fill our hearts ’til they come bursting right out of our chests
And the holes they leave behind can be a place the birds will nest because
I don’t want to live like this anymore
Shivering in the cold, I am stuck outside of this second-hand store
I need a blanket
