Brighter Lights Lyrics by The Backfires

This Is Not An Exit

2024

[Verse]
Operatic avenues
Meet me in the back booth
Cause I want to talk through
All the dreams we’ve never had
Why do you look so sad?
Sold ourselves to a town
To get lost here and now
On the high of the crowd
Pull your face up off the ground
Just go and take a look around

[Pre-Chorus]
Its rolling off my tongue and I
Don’t mind the setting sun

[Chorus]
We’re all just waiting in a line
For a glimpse of the brighter lights
We’re all just here to pass the time
Doing just enough to be getting by

[Verse]
Always on the avenues
Meet me in the back booth
Have a drink and talk through
The dreams we’ve never had
You know you look so sad
Sold ourselves to a town
To get lost in the sound
On the high of the crowd
It pulls my face up off the ground
Makes me take a look around

[Pre-Chorus]
Its rolling off my tongue and I
Don’t mind the setting sun

[Chorus]
We’re all just waiting in a line
For a glimpse of the brighter lights
We’re all just here to pass the time
Doing just enough to be getting by
We’re all just waiting in a line
For a glimpse of the brighter lights
We’re all just here to pass the time
Doing just enough to be getting by

[Bridge]
Just enough to be getting by
Just enough to be getting by
Though it’s under your breath
And it’s not what you meant
And it’s all in your head
We’re just getting by
Though it’s under your breath
It’s not what you meant
And it’s all in your head
We’re just getting by

[Chorus]
We’re all just waiting in a line
For a glimpse of the brighter lights
We’re all just here to pass the time
Doing just enough to be getting by
We’re all just waiting in a line
For a glimpse of the brighter lights
We’re all just here to pass the time
Doing just enough to be getting by
