when my light’s burn out
you’re the only one, you’re the only one
you’re the only one left
I will answer to
when my lights burn out
you’re the only one, you’re the only one
you’re the only one here
who can switch out the dud
honey you’re a patient man
living in the moment
everything I am is not everything you wanted but
here we are side-by-side in bed every single morning
I am old
you can’t keep my pace
and you can’t see the flash beneath my veins
but you’ve got time for days
to watch me drift, and sink and swim in a hundred different ways
when my lights burn out
you’re the only one, you’re the only one
you’re the only one left
I will answer to
when my lights burn out
you’re the only one, you’re the only one
you’re the only one here
who can switch out the dud
honey you’re a patient man
living in the moment
everything I am is not everything you wanted but
here we are side-by-side in bed every single morning
I am old
you can’t keep my pace
and you can’t see the flash beneath my veins
but you’ve got time for days
to watch me drift, and sink and swim in a hundred different ways
when my lights burn out
you’re the only one, you’re the only one
you’re the only one left I will answer to
