Pull the car to the side of the road You know I can drive, we'll be just fine You pick the time you draw the line The fight is yours but feels like mine It's not a rare scenario for you You've been there before, still don't know what to do I suffer the barbs is what I do I did my part, I'm still gonna lose Do you still feel like you're a rental I got a picture of it in my head And it's all I see any longer I got a picture of it in my head And I can't get rid of it Come along with you, hit the roof See me looking like a cigarette You're right, it might take time Do you still kind of need someone to be there Do you feel, like a regular fool Do you ponder at it too, with a little attitude You really think I'm still the fool Pours salt into my open wounds Do you still feel like you're a rental I got a picture of it in my head And it's all I see any longer I got a picture of it in my head And I can't get rid of it

I sat her down on Saturday and tried to explain Why on Friday night I fried my brain How I was thirsty on Thursday, Though she witnessed things on Wednesday That she'd rather never see me do again It's true enough that Tuesday has always been my booze day And Monday's hard to make it through sober But I'll buy the day's first round As the evening sun goes down Guess I'm spending Sunday evening without her Yeah, she's jealous of the bottle, it sure has that allure And I seem to spend more time with it than her I drink a bottle, I get full, then she gets fed up And we both become a different shade of green Yeah, she's jealous of the bottle when I come home late She knows just where I've been To feel the contour of the bottle or the curve of her hips You think I'd stick with her and that'd be it But I hear her frequent holler When the scent upon my collar Gives away what's been pressed up against my lips I know it isn't fair for me to keep up this affair When I see how much she cares for me, despite How after every tender kiss I drink down her nemesis And I'll meet up with that mistress again tonight

I have said so many things I regret I have done so much more than damage I know that so much time has passed Each day goes so much faster than the last We don't have time to hold back But what I wouldn't give for one more chance To be all that you want so you could have The life that you want and you'd still kiss me goodnight Each and every night I have said so often that I care I held on so tight when you were not there I know that many tears have fallen It never seemed to help to keep recallin' How could you want to hold back

Aurora 03:15
There's a blizzard on the road to Aurora And the snow and ice, they make for rough terrain it's a blinding winding way there, to be sure And I won't care if I don't come back here again There's a big dog that barks, he don't like me And his eyes follow me every step I take Man, I wish I could get me some whiskey Or something strong enough to help dull this ache Aurora, Aurora Aurora, why d'you do me like you do Aurora, Aurora If I don't make it home alive, I'll place the blame on you Well, it's true I'd rather stay here in the city And sit and think about what moves to make But I'm moved to make the trip out to Aurora And find out for myself if it's a mistake Aurora, Aurora Aurora, you're no friend of mine Aurora, Aurora If I don't see your face again, I think I'll be just fine I know I'll be just fine

Back before the time That we laughed at what we used to cry about Then, there was never any need I know what you believe and I know that you burned it into me Remember how you used to say that you would never give up But you don't say that anymore When you're on your knees on another bathroom floor You don't say that anymore No, you've given up, you can't fake it anymore Bent under the sun Sweat stings your baby blues, dirt underneath your fingernails Then, there was no talk of comprise And no need to apologize Yeah, you know that I can sympathize Remember how you used to say that you would never give up But you don't say that anymore When you're on your knees on another bathroom floor You don't say that anymore No, you've given up, you can't fake it anymore Aren't you tired of waitin' All you got is anticipation

At the end of the tunnel, there's a light I can see that everything will be alright Just walk through the darkness a little bit longer The farther you go, the light will get stronger So shine it on, shine it on Shine it on, shine it on (Ooooo) And the light at the end of the tunnel will shine on you Yeah, the light at the end of the tunnel will shine on you
