Younger Nights

There's this song in my head it keeps circling the same phrase But i can't seem to write down the words I'm supposed to say I'll find someone else to be alive So I can give this up It's just me all alone back at home every damn day I keep pacing the halls wondering if it means anything Each step cuts through my open mind In words I should have sung So give me flight Give me younger nights I'll build a basement cut from time Where I'll scream until I build a life It just goes by It just goes by It just goes by It just goes by I was hoping I could love myself I was hoping I could love myself I was hoping I could love myself I was hoping I could love myself There's these holes in my head they're all built on the same phrase That "someday you'll be gone and you won't have made anything" And they scream into the night In words I should have sung So give me flight Give me younger nights cause I'm just hoping I can find someone who wants to build a life I was hoping I could love myself I was hoping I could love myself I was hoping I could love myself I was hoping I could love myself
