Harsh Light - Nate Ruess

The barkeep’s in a bad mood, playing with his chains

Talking 'bout a blood moon, asking how I found this place

My eyes are drained from the one that got away

So tonight I’m going out, tonight I’m gonna stay out

In walks eighty long boots, looking for a date

I would make the first move, but I’m too drunk to enunciate

Never been one to want to hear about someone’s day

So tonight I’m going out, tonight I’m gonna stay out

And it’s so hard just to be There’s such a fine line between the things you want and the

And the things that you need

So I’m not going to sleep

I’m slipping into midnight under harsh light

And nothing gets me down

Running into old friends I don’t need anymore

Tonight I’m gonna show 'em

We all got scars, we all got scars

We all got scars, we all got scars, so what?

I’m slipping into midnight under harsh light

And nothing here is bringing me down

No, nothing here is bringing me down

And my heart is always breaking for the ghosts that haunt this room

We fall asleep to revolution, but wake up next to a sad excuse

Oh, what a shame how we got in our own way

So tonight I’m going out, tonight I’m gonna stay out

And it’s so hard not to scream (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

There’s such a fine line between the things you are and the

And the things that you’ve been

I’m slipping into midnight under harsh light

And nothing gets me down

Up above the past loves I don’t need anymore

Tonight I’m gonna show 'em

We all got scars, we all got scars

We all got scars, we all got scars, so what?

I’m slipping into midnight under harsh light

And nothing here is bringing me down

(We all got scars, we all got scars

We all got scars, we all got scars)

I’m scared that I’m becoming a satellite (We all got scars)

I’m sat aside of the moon (We all got scars)

Convinced that if you’d ever stood by my side (We all got scars)

Now you’re on the other side of the room (We all got scars)

But I get this funny feeling that tonight is going to end

(We all got scars)

Much better than it’s been, ooh (We all got scars)

I find it hard to keep my eyes open (We all got scars)

And let the lights shine in, ooh (We all got scars)

And it’s so hard just to be There’s such a fine line, such a fine line, such a fine line

But I’m not sleeping tonight

I’m slipping into midnight under harsh light

And nothing gets me down

Running into old friends I don’t need anymore

Tonight I’m gonna show 'em

We all got scars, we all got scars

We all got scars, we all got scars, so what?

I’m slipping into midnight under harsh light (come on)

And nothing here is bringing me down

No, nothing here is bringing me down

Nothing here is bringing me down, down, down,

down, down down down down

And nothing here is bringing me down
