[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
