Lights

from Atlas (Debut Album 2011) by Columbia Buffet

lyrics

Dark grey clouds move in from the east. Two birds converse on a streetlight. I watch from this train station platform as daylight turns to night time. All the leaves in the nearby trees start to sway with a song that circles in my head. Oh God, I should have stayed in bed. Time to take some time away, take some time away. The rain falls down now but I’m safe. Those faded lights disappear in the distance. I know all their secrets now. Just live through it all – will make sense further down the line. All we’ve got is time. Time to take some time away, we’ll take some time away. Now all the lights have faded on nights you spent alone just wishing that you were home. All the lights have faded on nights you spent at home just wishing you weren’t alone. On your own. You’re on your own.
