Story Behind the Song
Elia wrote this as a project for a songwriting class at Columbia College.
Lyrics
Put your headphones on, block out the world
Get together with your friends, feel all alone
Turn on your television, put your mind back to sleep
Stay for one last cigarette, I'm begging you please
Chorus:
Tonight I'll walk the railroad lines
Away from all the people and their neon signs
'Til somewhere in my haze of loneliness and wine
I'll maybe find you there, yeah, yeah
Smash up all the lamps in your house, live in the dark
Dial a number, let it ring, hang up when you hear a voice
Get dressed up, change your mind, and take all your clothes off
Tear down her picture saying, "All the things I do for the beauty of you,
for the beauuuuuty..."
Chorus
Bridge:
Oh hold me leave me hold me leave me hold me leave me, oh believe me...
Hold me leave me hold me leave me hold me leave me, Please believe me...
Please believe me...
Outro:
Sun goes up and the sun comes down,
sun goes up and sun goes down
Oh some go up and some go down,
Sun comes up and the sun comes down
Oh some go up and some go down
Sun goes up and the sun comes down
