Nightblindness Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A million to one outsiders
Night blindness, can't see
Your bright eyes or what the time is
Twenty-five past eternity
Here listening to the sirens
Coming closer, now further away

[Chorus]
What we gonna do when the money runs out?
I wish that there was something left to say
Where we gonna find the eyes to see a brighter day?

[Verse 2]
I'm sick of all the same old answers
Last chances, cold stones
Propping mountains up on matchsticks
Dragging baskets full of bones
And honey please don't stop your talking
'Cause there's a feeling won't leave me alone

[Chorus]
What we gonna do when the money runs out?
I wish that there was something I could say
How we gonna find the eyes to see a brighter day?
What we gonna do when the money runs out?
I wish that there was something left to say
How we gonna find the eyes to see a brighter day?
[Outro]
A brighter day
A brighter day

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
