[Verse]
I got so sick of being on my own,
Now the Devil won't leave me alone.
It's almost like I found a friend
Who's in it for the bitter end
Our consciences
Are always so much heavier
Than our egos.
I set my expectations high,
So nothing ever comes out right
[Pre-Chorus]
Shoot a star on the boulevard tonight,
I think I'll figure it out
With a little more time.
But who needs time?
[Chorus]
Turn off the lights,
Turn off the lights!
Turn on the show for me tonight.
I got my heavy heart to hold me down,
Once it falls apart, my head's in the clouds.
So, I'm taking every chance I got,
Like the man I know I'm not.
[Verse 2]
I got so sick of wasting all my time,
How in God's name did I survive?
(How did I survive?)
I need a little sympathy,
To sore my insecurities.
Our consciences
Are always so much heavier
Than our egos.
Set my expectations high
So nothing ever comes out right.
[Pre-Chorus]
So shoot a star on the boulevard tonight,
I think I'll figure it out
With a little more time.
But who needs time?
[Chorus]
Turn off the lights,
Turn off the lights!
Turn on the show for me tonight.
I got a heavy heart to hold me down,
Once it falls apart, my head's in the clouds.
So, I'm taking every chance I got,
Like the man I know I'm not
(Oh x3)
[Bridge]
A heavy heart on the boulevard tonight,
(Oh x3)
Shooting stars watch me fall apart tonight,
Woah, woah.
[Chorus]
Turn off the lights,
Turn off the lights!
Turn on the show for me tonight.
I got a heavy heart to hold me down
Once it falls apart, my head's in the clouds.
So, I'm taking every chance I got,
Like the man I know I'm not.
(Various "Ohhhhh" x7)
