East City Lights

The night is racin'
I'm tired of runnin' after
Without knowing what I'm chasing

Don't wanna be a lonely man
Gotta get out of this dangerous land
If my hands stop shakin'
I'll try a little more givin' now
And a lot less takin'
Oh I'm just a broken man
Tryin' to live with an open hand
Find a better way
Than being beatin' down and stranded
On the darkest sides of love
A long way from the sun

My heart was fractured like the sidewalks where I run
But I have seen the sun

Tomorrow I'm makin'
A list of all the ways to trick my heart to stop breakin'
'Cause it's been changin' hands
Ever since I was a younger man
And I need a better way

And these east city lights are shinin'
And these east city lights are blindin'
and they're remindin' me that they're findin' me
A quiet steady place to call my home

Tonight I'm prayin'
with a little bit more listenin'
And a lot less sayin'
I used to be a wanderin' man
It made me a lonely man
So I'm here to stay

Oh yeah, oh yeah, I'm on my way
