[Verse 1]
I got up and made my way to the door
And I dropped my conscience on the way out
I turned and I looked back down on the floor
But my conscience wasn't there anymore
[Pre-Chorus]
So then I got to thinking
Was it there in the first place?
Can you read it on my face?
And I just don't care anymore
And I just don't give a damn anymore
[Chorus]
Why?
Just for tonight can we try
To keep our eyes just burning bright
To light our way to the night
Just to see what we find
[Verse 2]
Told everyone I would try to get by
But I felt like I was wasting my time
I found my way this time so why should I try
To stay grounded when my head's in the sky
[Pre-Chorus]
So then I got to thinking
Will they miss me when i'm gone?
Will they leave the porch light on?
If I can't find home anymore
Or will I not have a home anymore
[Chorus]
Why?
Just for tonight can we try
To keep our eyes just burning bright
To light our way to the night
Just to see what we find
Why?
Just for tonight can we try
To keep our eyes just burning bright
To light our way to the night
Just to see what we find
[Bridge]
When we go
We'll just live our lives by rocky road
And our eyes at the second place prize
Cause I'm feeling lucky tonight
And I'll just stick, stick, stick to the things I know
If you'll just quit, quit, quit, quit bugging me about it, baby
And you'll tell me that I'm missing out
Cause I don't give a damn anymore
[Chorus]
Why?
Just for tonight can we try
To keep our eyes just burning bright
To light our way to the night
Just to see what we find
Why?
Just for tonight can we try
To keep our eyes just burning bright
To light our way to the night
Just to see what we find
