The Gaslight Anthem

The Gaslight Anthem - Stay Lucky lyrics

rate me

It took so long to get me back on my feet

It takes so long to find the words and the beat

And Charlie's waiting on the end of the phone

To hear you call on him to try to recapture

But them old records won't be saving your soul

And them feelings got the reasons you know

That you've forgotten somewhere

Riding a train to place

You are out in the cold cold

And it feels like all you'd have to do

Is step outside

Stop pacing around and waiting for some moment

That might never arrive

But you're never gonna find it

Like when you were young

And everybody used to call you lucky

Nothing feels right in the wintery cold

Steam, heat, clang, and the dark at your door

All the other rooms are a party tonight

And you never got an invitation

And you feel in your bones

Steady aching and more

Twenty five years gone just an hour ago

Momma never told me there'd be days like these

Until it was much too late to recover

And it feels like all you'd have to do

Is step outside

Stop pacing around and waiting for some moment

That might never arrive

But you're never gonna find it

When your knees got so weak

But it's right here in case you need it

Like when you were young

And everybody used to call you lucky

When you were young

And everybody used to call you lucky

But it feels like you just might explode inside

You've been pacing around and waiting

For some moment that might never arrive at all

What you don't have, you don't need it anymore

What you don't have, you don't need it anymore

But you're never gonna find it

When your knees got so weak

But it's right here in case you need it

Like when you were young

And everybody used to call you lucky

When you were young

And everybody used to call you lucky

If you're anywhere in Manhattan

In the next eight days or so

Let me know

Speak to stay lucky
