Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse] Blue light on the glass Watch the minutes pass Freezing wind under the door Cleaning spills on the floor Got a pen in my hand Tracing lines I planned On the back of a bill Keep my heart real still [Pre-Chorus] 808s hum in my head Thinking 'bout what she said "Don't stay up too late" But I'm carrying the weight [Chorus] Trading sleep for her degree More than what they see Small steps in the dark Waiting for the spark Fluorescent hum is my song This is where I belong Till the morning light I’ll keep holding tight [Post-Chorus] Writing on the receipt Keeping off the street Building up the flame Remembering my name [Verse] Customer at pump four Stumbling through the door Smells like cheap red wine Says he’s doing fine I just nod and smile Thinking 'bout the mile Of the highway to her school Yeah, I ain't no fool Tuition due on the tenth Testing every bit of strength But her future looks bright In this neon winter night [Chorus] Trading sleep for her degree More than what they see Small steps in the dark Waiting for the spark Fluorescent hum is my song This is where I belong Till the morning light I’ll keep holding tight [Bridge] Ink stains on my palm Trying to stay calm The world is fast asleep Promises I gotta keep It's more than just a check With a heavy chain on my neck I’m building us a bridge From the counter to the ridge [Hook] Receipt paper in the bin That's where I begin Receipt paper in the bin Let the music in [Chorus] Trading sleep for her degree More than what they see Small steps in the dark Waiting for the spark Fluorescent hum is my song This is where I belong Till the morning light I’ll keep holding tight [Outro]
