I let you slip through my fingers
I don't even know if I can remember
How I got here in the first place
My mind wanders off it's somewhere
Out in space
Laziness it consumes you
There's nothing you can say
There's nothing you can do

Bright eyes
holding you close but you seem so far
Why should I try?
I know that it'll never get that far
I know that it'll never get that far

Simply put I'm letting go
I've got my money on the wrong hand this time
Coast to coast been avoiding all your phone calls
Trying to figure out how I fucked it up this time
Without a penny in my pocket
There's nothing I can say
There's nothing I can do

Bright eyes
Holding you close but you seem so far
Why should I try?
I know that it'll never get that far

Hey, bright eyes
Holding you close but you seem so far
Why should I try?
Know that it'll never get that far

My mother told me
Button up your shirt, it looks nice like that
That's just not me
That's me in gasoline
I'm not going out like that tonight

Bright eyes
Holding you close but you seem so far
Why should I try?
Know it'll never get far

Hey, bright eyes
Holding you close but you seem so far
Why should I try?
Know it'll never get far
