The first thing you remember when you look around the room
Are the holes you punched into your wall and the blisters from your shoes
You had to be the star last night yeah you took it all in stride
You tried to shoot out every light scaring all that passed you bye

But the night is on your side it's on your side it's on your side
Erasing every thought you tried to hide it's on your side

The next day you hear everything from garbage cans to bikes
Like falling down flat on your face and screaming at the night
You took the prize you won the race that no one hopes to run
And while they're laughing in your face, you're having all the fun

'Cause the night is on your side it's on your side it's on your side
Erasing every thought you tried to hide it's on your side

They keep hoping you'll stop sinking
But memory is overrated
All these questions they keep asking
Are pushing you to drown their sorrows
Pushing you to drown their sorrows

But the night is on your side it's on your side it's on your side
Erasing every thought you tried to hide it's on your side
