Lights Lyrics

and i took a couple pictures, that i keep inside my head
the corner store, the halsey stop, and the waitresses we met
and we had a couple arguments about bills we never sent
but it doesn't really matter much when we can't afford the rent

as lights shine down from the east side of manhattan
and that's all i really wanted to see
as i hang up on a rooftop in ridgewood, i'm taking it all in

and i sat inside my lectures, but i can't hear 19k
i saw the pretty city girls, but didn't have a thing to say
and i got a couple parking tickets that i forgot to pay
i walked to the same pizza place almost every single day

and we try with all our might to do what we were taught is right
