Capital Lights Kick It Off
Kick it off with a record time, tie breaking lullabies
By then you'll sing it, can you sing it?
Hopes galore in 1985, before the starting line
But now we bring it, can you bring it?
I thought I could write about anything
But you cut me off forbidding using your name
Your letter?s full of code I haven't figured out
And what you heard about isn't adding up to the amount
You spent uninviting, you could hold a candle to the city
I'm watching all your bridges burn
Bad timing, either better pull yourself together
Or fall apart while waiting your turn
So turn me off when the lights go down
Sing me a song that will put me to sleep
Nightly routine, dream your night on the town
Hold in all your thoughts, I don't talk when I'm out
Kick it off with a record time, tie breaking lullabies
By then you'll sing it, can you sing it?
Hopes galore in 1985, before the starting line
But now we bring it, can you bring it to life?
Kick it off with a record time, tie breaking lullabies
By then you'll sing it, can you sing it?
Hopes galore in 1985, before the starting line
But now we bring it, can you bring it?
All I ever wanted was to keep you to myself
But you?re the talk of the town
A clever story, so long, farewell
I'll leave you living a lonely night and
You could hold a candle to the city
I'm watching all your bridges burn
Bad timing, either better pull yourself together
Or fall apart while waiting your turn
Turns out we didn't go down
I'll sing you a song, make you wish it was deep
Typical girl in a typical town
Lesson of the day is what I'm really about
I was only under the impression
We were waiting for nothing but nothing turned out to be
A better life and nothing less than
What I?m leaving behind and what I?m putting behind me
I thought I could write about anything
I thought I could write about anything
You could only hold me for a number of days
But we're over, now, that I'm on my way
Kick it off with a record time, tie breaking lullabies
By then you'll sing it, can you sing it?
Hopes galore in 1985, before the starting line
But now we bring it, can you bring it to life?
Kick it off with a record time, tie breaking lullabies
By then you'll sing it, can you sing it?
Hopes galore in 1985, before the starting line
But now we bring it, can you bring it to life, to life?
Life, to life
