North star take me home on this cold bleak winter night Faint against the street lights, so distant and so alone
No such thing as luck Wide-eyed smiles don't give a fuck All those nights spent drinking alone 4am fever for a genuine home Trying to get you to care Trying but getting nowhere Trying to see you my star But I only see tungsten and cars
But those days are gone like the wasted nights And the thought of reliving serves only to fright (like) How I'll tell my children true love isn't fleeting And to bear this in mind while their hearts are still beating
Alcoholic ghosts devoured my soul transferring debt is taking its toll bad news in the back of my mind what I can't carry I can leave behind And maybe this just couldn't be
