Highlife Dinners & Nightcaps Lyrics

If you were a bridge I'd walk over you

To get anywhere I was going any day of my life

As long as you were on the way

To wherever I was going any day of my life

And I don't know where I'll be going

As much as I've given thought to it

Not much seems to be in my control

These days; or really any other days

But I'd love to hear that song you sometimes sing

When I need a song to be sung to me

And it would be really nice if you could organize your life around

Where I could possibly be going

And try to beat me there

Maybe give me a hint

Steer me clear of disaster

Guide me around possible doom

I'll take rainbows and sunshine

Plenty of high-life dinners and nightcaps

Maybe forget the rainbows and sunshine

Just plenty of high-life dinners and nightcaps

Plenty of high-life dinners and nightcaps

Plenty of high-life dinners and nightcaps

Plenty of high-life dinners and nightcaps

Any day of my life

Any day of my life

You say you're not coming and you hope the raindrops fall

You're looking for something I don't understand at all

You say that thing is a mentality

You say that thing is belief in anything

You say you don't want to live from one night out to the next

You say a lot of things but I don't know what to say

Besides asking, honey, what are you looking for?

You say want a walk through the yard

I say what are you talking about?

I say high-life dinners and nightcaps

You say that isn't an answer to believe in

I say high-life dinners and nightcaps

You say you hope I cross a bridge eventually

I say high-life dinners and nightcaps

You say back up further away from me

I say high-life dinners and nightcaps

You say you're done trying to speak to me

I say high-life dinners and nightcaps

I say high-life dinners and nightcaps

I say high-life dinners and nightcaps

I say high-life dinners and nightcaps

But you spend your entire life alive and free

And I spend most of my life lonely
