I head out, down to the bar
Out on 29th
To a new scene, some empty dream
That I’ll have tonight
At the back of my mind
Erasing the signs
Tracing the lines
Back to you
In the dead air out on the patio
Late last night
You checked out and walked home alone
Under dim streetlight
To the back of my mind
Erasing the signs
Tracing the lines
Back to you
And the look as you walked away
And the limits to what we can say
The dead ends and prices we pay
Til it’s gone either way
I head out, down to the bar
Out on 29th
To a new scene, some empty dream
That I’ll have tonight
At the back of my mind
Erasing the signs
Tracing the lines
Back to you
