Nicole Atkins

A Night of Serious Drinking

You asked me once what good is day

When careless hearts burn so bright?

You and I are not like that legendary bird

That arises from ash

We burn and crash

You asked me once what good is love

If hurt is just around the bend?

You and I play hide and seek so very well

The game never ends

In a spell

You asked me once when will it end

These funny little ups and downs?

Every disaster that befalls you and i

Must show that we care

A pair of clowns

On a jet plane sailing through the night

I find I'm thinking of you

9 years ago was just like yesterday

You never look back

Under attack

On a jet plane sailing through the night

I guess I'm wasting precious time

Seven years ago you told me you had plans to go

You'd never come back

Shows what you know

Those were serious nights of drinking

I rest my head back on the shelf

My good name a bit to good for my own

Yeah I was naïve

So I came to believe

This jet plane lands silently still

Can't believe I'll be there soon

Three years ago felt like a lifetime

Those mountains we climb

In our minds

Minds

Minds
