verse
there’s a dimension in the stratosphere
where i’m meeting fans right before the show
and my name’s right there
on madison square
and there’s another with a couple kids
stuck in the suburbs but i like it
and my name’s right there
pre
there on the mailbox
covered in roses
there i’m somebody
somebody who doesn’t think
like i do now
i’ll never know what i’m missing
chorus
every time i close my eyes
i see a whole lot of nothing
someone turned out all the lights
now i’m a dead girl walking
fucked it once then i fucked it twice
but you don’t care it’s not your fucking life
i’ll be the version of me no one likes
every time i close my eyes
verse
are there other me’s that are up tonight?
maybe chicago in the summertime
reciting the beers on tap
imagine that
i’m teaching english in a college town
looking for something that i never found
and it all makes me sad
pre
there on the highway
covered in roses
there i’m somebody
somebody who doesn’t think
like i do now
i’ll never know what i’m missing
chorus
every time i close my eyes
i see a whole lot of nothing
someone turned out all the lights
now i’m a dead girl walking
fucked it once then i fucked it twice
but you don’t care it’s not your fucking life
i’ll be the version of me no one likes
every time i close my eyes
i see a whole lotta nothing
i really thought i’d see something there
but i see a whole lot of nothing
nothing every time, every time
every time i close my eyes
