Empty Glass Lyrics by Defeater

Empty Days & Sleepless Nights

2011

The way she looked at you, tears streaming down her face
You felt the brush of her dress as she walked away

And that's all that it took, sat down to buy her a drink
An empty or a half full glass, it all goes down the same
And that's the way that it's been
Years later she took your name
Hopeful and now unafraid
Your gut sinks each time you see her

Another night at the Copper Coin
Another night at the Copper Coin
Another night, another night

And that's all that it took, sat down to buy her a drink
An empty or a half full glass, it all goes down the same
And that's the way that it's been
Years later she took your name
Hopeful and now unafraid
Your gut sinks each time you see her

Tell me about the old days
Another night at the Copper Coin
Tell me about the old days
Put the sun into the sea

'Cause there ain't nothing like your smile, your legs and those eyes
Tell me about the old days
Tell me about the old days
'Cause there ain't nothing like your smile, your legs and those eyes
And I will beg and steal and borrow to keep you safe your whole life
