lyrics

step off the plane, a suitcase and guitar
a worn-out cliche through a revolving door
look at the jetway, look at it my way,
already burnt out, it's time to fade

up the lights and get things started
love's not for me, i am faint of heart
i hate hard work, i'm hardly working but i'm almost happy
if they'd just fade up the lights

i'll sing my life, if no one listens
i'll hit the bar, get myself pissed
then walk 'round the town with my head full of flames
imagine the pleasure, imagine the fame

how the lights would get things started
love's not for me, i am faint of heart
i hate hard work, i'm hardly working but i'm almost happy
if they'd just fade up the lights

there's a sweet spot in my mind
where i'd get everything for what i gave
so i lie to myself until it's time
hoping time and distance will make it fade

and the lights would get things started
love's not for me, i am faint of heart
i hate hard work, i'm hardly working but i'm almost happy
if they'd just fade up the lights
and get things started
love's not for me, i am faint of heart
i hate hard work, i'm hardly working but i'm almost happy
if you'd just fade up the lights
