Number Five - The Spotlight

You’ve got the stars and I’ve got the skyline,

in a pattern of windows calling it a night.

I wonder how many dark rooms are filled up with lovers

who’ve made much better decisions than I.

Lately I’ve been sleeping alone and turning off my phone

like tommorow’s a new day.

I believe that if Baltimore’s got so much charm,

maybe I’ll dream of something clever to say.

I can’t forget the way that your hair fell gracefully in your face

In mid-July your eyes are begging me to taste your lips on mine

and I’m a sucker for a good time

But you’re not falling for my best lines

I can’t replace you in my life

You’ve got a smile on, I’ve got the countdown

The top five reasons for setting the record straight

I wonder how many late nights you’ve spent between bedsheets

while I obsess over love we made

I’ve been driving alone and looking out at the world in a sea of headlights

Still, when I look in the rearview,

I just want to be near you

I just want your feet on my windshield tonight

The bar scene is based on believing you can fall in love within an hour of

meeting,

and fall out with a headache in the morning.

And I feel that chase has lost the thrill,

but the looks you’re giving me could kill

so I take that as a hint to keep my mouth shut.

So strike up the band and get on the floor to dance around the fact that I feel

like I don’t know you anymore
