It's been a Elong time since I watched these liAghts alone

With my Aheart in your hands
And I was Efollowing through
With my C#mbeautifulB plans

EYeah, now I'm Arolling down this canyonE drive
With your C#mlaughter in my Bhead
EGonna have to block it oAut somehow to surEvive

'cuz those dreams are dead
But I'm aliveE A E A
I want to Ego where I will never hear your Aname
I want to Elose my sorrow and be Afree again
And I Eknow I've been inAsane

Standing here by the Ahighway side
Watching these Etrucks blow by
Inches from my C#mface

The words in paren's are background vocals. Tacet means (or at least
I mean) to break off strumming, i.e. there's no music played while
singing "But I'm alive".
