Lyrics Room For Forgiveness - Hamilton Leithauser

Room For Forgiveness

The light in the tumbler’s
Hypnotic, I wonder if
I never told the right kind of lies
Here in the darkness
There’s room for forgiveness
So we settle in
When boys start to sing
Blinded by the black light
Shaken by the silence
We’d be happy to surrender
When hell freezes over
You gave your confession
And I’d love to listen
But brother you’ve got a lot to unload
Here in the darkness
Come early and often
And we’ll all give in
When boys start to sing
Blasted by the thunder
Frozen by a darkness
It’s a shame we never surrendered
Cuz it’s only getting harder
Lonesome blowhard
Let’s pick up the tempo!
You blow so hard
We could show them
The happy endings
We’d always imagined
Like old friends
But these little night caps
Don’t bring the bite back
So I’ll miss you old bores
When I won’t be there for
Brother I know
So much to swallow
Brother I know
Big tales to off load
Brother I know
Oh where does the time go?
