i moved here for the nightlife
but now it's day of the dead
on the inside
looking outside
for the source
call me mr. brightside
or say i'm out of my head
for the insight
that i have found the course
it's so hard sometimes to be alone
2am on the east side
i'm drinking by myself
and i want to know you
like i never did before
i can't go out to meet you
the bars are closed as hell
and i want to show you
a new record at the store
it's so hard sometimes to be alone
i found you
wasted
complacent
braindead
and i wanna know you
like i never have before
it's so hard sometimes to be alone

i've been waiting
for you to walk inside
my inner being
and wrap me in this light
that i've been told about
for quite some time
now that it's colder out
i wanna feel your heartbreak next to mine
all your insides
on the outside
moving in
some days it's hard to begin
again
lines in the sand
separating all the rays of
hue-man beings
frightened
and poisoned in the afterglow
of atomic bombs
reigning down like snow
i wanna feel your heartbreak next to mine
all your insides
on the outside
moving in
some days it's hard to begin
some people leave their lights on
in the city on the hill
while others paint with blood upon
the walls that they have built
i wanna feel your heartbreak next to mine
all your insides
on the outside
once again
some days it's hard to begin
again

on the outside looking in
was i
ever faithful
till the end of time
i spent on resurrection
out of inner self-protection
how did i turn out?
i could reinvent my ego
into something you can stand
i can try to paint a portrait
wasn't much there left to find
i found
just that old, familiar, river
of sound direction for my future
life inside a forced illusion
how did you burn out?
i could reinvent my ego
into something you can stand
i can try to paint a portrait
i could realize the difference
'tween the method and the man
whatever it takes to make it through
me and you
