The Alternate Routes - The Black And The White lyrics

rate me

ell, it's five of nine and I'm over you

I'm gonna do whatever this empty bottle tells me to

And I'm so excited that I feel no pain

Finally everything's right in place with my heart again

And there no ends I can't see

There's nothing but the summer in me

Sing, hey la de day

I come out tonight

I look to get lost in the black and the white

Put the colors in me

Remembering when

I start looking over my shoulder again

Over your shoulder

And it's a holiday weekend, only twelve twenty-five

I walk down to this neighborhood place and I'm feeling alive

And it's trapped in the alley and the lighting is fair

And the bartender's laughing with strangers

I reach from the wall and I pull up a chair

Singing "luck be a lady, this is where I belong"

And I know that you're somewhere singing along

Sing, hey la de day

I come out tonight

I look to get lost in the black and the white

Put the colors in me

Remembering when

I start looking over my shoulder again

Over your shoulder

And there once was a dozen now there's only a few

And it's just past one thirty and I'm over you

And there in across town shadows I steal away

I let a gin shot of whiskey take a good man back to his yesterdays

And it starts me on thinking that you should have stayed

And I think about sleeping tonight in the bed that you made

Sing, hey la de day

I come out tonight

I look to get lost in the black and the white

Put the colors in me

Remembering when

I start looking over my shoulder again

Over your shoulder
