lyrics

If abandoned dreams were worth a thing
I would cash mine in and throw all the blow on drinks
Forget my name, forget my face
Just back away into oblivion's soft embrace

And all the bars through the city's rusty heart
Sing a song of love and death and harmony
And the flickering neon signs do their best to keep time
But dawn breaks slowly and they give up the fight

Where are you now, my oldest friend?
I lost track of you when no one would let me back in
So I turned away, hoping you would stay
The more I searched for you, the more I lost my faith

And all the bars through the city's rusty heart
Sing a song of love and death and harmony
And the trains above, like the neighborhood blood
Rush along in bittersweet cacophony

And I'm not the only one
The only one hanging on
The pieces were handed to me
And I put them together awkwardly
A fragmented picture or a broken mirror image of
The person a younger me would see
Someone that they'd want to be

And it's not quite right
I'm not much for conversation
But I'm close enough for stumbling home tonight
If I could leave unseen
I'd find a place to lean a while
A place to lean and dream
Just lean and dream
