"Nightlife" lyrics

Why was I the one to find you?
When it all came falling down
Is there a meaning in the feeling?
That you've been holding in till now

We're in a town they call a waste of time
We found a quiet little space outside
I'm only sitting here to listen
So tell me what you know

Good neighbors die here every day
Our lives are ending in their special ways
Yours will too
Mine will too
Yeah, the moon gives free reflected light
To all the homeless people every night
Sometimes less
Sometimes more
So, how come we wait forever to say what we need a nightlife for?

Why were you the one to find me?
I had nothing else to do
Can't forget the things you told me
So I'll try and sing a word for you

Good neighbors die here every day
Our lives are ending in their special ways
Yours will too
Yeah, mine will too
Yeah, the moon gives free reflected light
To all the homeless people every night
Sometimes less
Sometimes more
So, how come we wait forever to say what we need a nightlife for?

I used to wish things could be different
I used to wish things could be different
I used to wish things could be different
I used to wish things could be different
I used to wish things could be different
I used to wish things—

Our American story is ancient and known
In pursuing our pride, we abandon our own
Forsaken a dream, we live a lost cause
While bodies of children lie covered in gauze
So what are you doing, what dream do you have?
What lack are you seeking, what hope can outlast?
This night is unfolding, this all will end soon
If you know where to find it, you can stare at the moon
