Numb Again Tonight

Verse 1

Phone buzzes in my pocket

I let it go to voicemail

Same old sorry story

Different night same pale blue screen

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I could try again

Maybe I could fake a laugh

Maybe I don't have the energy

To climb out of this half-life

Chorus

You keep handing me matches

But I ran out of wicks

I'm a lantern with no fire

Still you flick your little tricks

Flick your little tricks

Verse 2

Sunday papers on the floor

Wish I'd saved the good stuff

Poured a cup of lukewarm tea

Forgot I never drank it cold

Pre-Chorus

Maybe I could call you back

Maybe I could miss your voice

Maybe I just like the quiet

Better than the noise it makes

Chorus

You keep handing me matches

But I ran out of wicks

I'm a lantern with no fire

Still you flick your little tricks

Flick your little tricks

Bridge

I burned out doing nothing

That's the joke that doesn't land

No. No. Soft. Spent.

Chorus

You keep handing me matches

But I ran out of wicks

I'm a lantern with no fire

Still you flick your little tricks

Flick your little tricks

Outro

Numb again tonight

Numb again tonight

Numb again
