Swinging On a Beam of Light Lyrics

What a perfect night to throw it all away

What a perfect crime to even try to sing

Every word I wrote sounds like a heresy

Goddamn the lonely

Reaching for the stars to catch a glimpse of light

When I was seventeen it never felt so right

And my friends at home don't even want to hear me

God bless the phonies

Every sound's like I'm swinging on a beam of light

Every chord composed to score a dreamer's night

Somehow I knew I knew I knew I knew

I had to turn it down

Leave me alone now

I'm better lost and never found

I saw my heroes die the day they chose to know me

Death's on the other line I think he wants to hold me

Then on the radio I heard a song so lonely

From my heart it stole me

What's the point life I heard that death was cold

I've been burning up like the Cali coast

And all I ever wanted was to let go

It felt kind of homey

Every sound's like I'm swinging on a beam of light

Every chord composed to score a dreamer's night

Somehow I knew I knew I knew I knew

I had to turn it down

Leave me alone now

I'm better lost and never found

Every sound's like he's swinging on a beam of light

Every chord composed to score a dreamer's night

Somehow he knew he knew he knew he knew

He had to turn it down

Leave him alone now

Who needs a boy singing way too loud
