[Verse 1]
Restless in the morning light
And they've been catching on to you
Standing in the mountains of your clothes
And can't even come to find your shoes
Now I don't want to hold you back
But if I don't lend a hand don't be alarmed, I-
I ain't trying to beg
But you've got me turning back the clock
[Chorus 1]
Oh, long nights
That were damn well spent
To wake to a sight like yourself
I don't, I don't mind
Being a prisoner in your rainy day
It's alright, it's alright with me
[Verse 2]
You know I've grown to love your innocence
But I dig the darker shades, did you?
Like the shades when you won't hesitate, darling
To shut the lights off on this running world of crazy fools
And they're all fools
So wave away and let them crash behind
And set your flowers on the dash
Sleep above the echos and the broken gla**
And rip this joint made to burn, burn your past
[Chorus 2]
Oh, long nights
They were damn well spent
To wake to a sight like yourself
I don't, I don't mind
Being a prisoner in your rainy day
And if I have to leave it all behind
It's alright with me
It's alright, yes, it is
[Bridge]
As the newspaper waits at your door in it's place
Only left here to read from the lines on your face
When the puddles get deep and our hair grows too long
We'll find comfort in things that used to feel wrong
Hearing the waves as they trample the streets
But your whisper is so bold and it sings me to sleep
And now you sit on the floor and you pull down the blinds
You may never get back but it's a fortunate fight
Yes, it is
[Outro]
Don't do it, don't do it to me, let up and cave
Don't do it , don't do it to me
Don't do it, don't do it to me
You know it's alright
