Mike Boyd - Street Lights lyrics

rate me

Blame it on the street lights, blame it on the cool nights

Blame it on the radio, the radio, the radio

Blame it on the street lights, oh oh

Blame it on the radio, the radio, the radio

I blame it on the weed when I don’t wanna write

I’d rather go to sleep and just call it a night

I’ve been making up excuses for all of my life

Still making up excuses for all of my life

I blame it on depression ‘cause when it sets in

Have to put a couple pills on my tongue then digest them

Overwhelmed with emotions but can’t express them

Girls always saying that I never show affection

I’m numb to it all so I turn to the liquor

Red bowling vodka delivered to my liver

A different person when I’m drunk

Thinking like that guy, half robot, half man

I’m living like a cyborg, oh, I am missing

My ambition, tryna find my niche

But time is ticking

Spitting for a living ain’t what I envisioned

I’m tryna do the math but it’s so science fiction

Blame it on the street lights, blame it on the cool nights

Blame it on the radio, the radio, the radio

Blame it on the street lights, oh oh

Blame it on the radio, the radio, the radio

I used to play my music high, let the days pass by

Still I

Blame the sun and the moon and the stars in the sky

Blame the light in the day, blame the dark in the night

And I blame it on the haters who take the time of day to

Write you up an email to say how much they hate you

Bashing the radio, laugh in my face, ha

Tell me I should never be with class act on stage, no

It’s just the nature to hit below the belt

I blame it on the fact I’m insecure about the self

Can’t be concerned when no words come out your mouth

‘Cause that’s what they are, just words and nothing else

I blame it on the sleeping, I’m too tired

‘Cause there’s work to do when the curtains tired

My son’s learning how to crawl so just in case he falls

Gotta baby proof the household and hide all the loose wires

New son, used diapers, these songs who inspire

Ever long proof fighters, I can’t deny that I

Blame it on the street lights, blame it on the cool nights

Blame it on the radio, the radio, the radio

Blame it on the street lights, oh oh

Blame it on the radio, the radio, the radio

I used to play my music high, let the days pass by

Still I

Blame the sun and the moon and the stars in the sky

Blame the light in the day, blame the dark in the night

So many excuses and always some reason

To miss those opportunities and never ever seize them

Blame it on my luck or the cards that I was dealt

But if I never even tried I’ll only blame it on myself

Blame it on myself
