Evelyn sits by the elevator doors It's been 37 years since James died On St. Patrick's Day, 1964 She could not hold it against him There were times when there was nothing she could do But lie in bed all day Beside a picture of them together A picture of better days And just like James, I'll be drinking Irish tonight With the memory of his last work week will be gone forever Evelyn, I'm not coming home tonight If we're never together, if I'm never back again Well, I swear to God that I'll love you forever Evelyn, I'm not coming home tonight In all the years that went by She said she'd always love him And from the day that he died She never loved again And in his wallet she kept on her nightstand An AA card and a lock of red hair Kept secrets of pride locked so tight in her heart It killed a part of her before the rest was gone She said, "If I would have known just how things would have ended up I just would have let myself die" And just like James, I'm drinking Irish tonight With the memory of his last work week will be gone forever Evelyn, I'm not coming home tonight If we're never together, if I'm never back again Well, I swear to God that I'll love you forever Evelyn, I'm not coming home tonight

I don't miss walking your walk, no And I miss talking your talk Girl I ain't got no time to waste You don't give me no reason To miss your face, no So long So long I love the way you hate me Love the way you hate

Take some time to think, figure out what's important to you You've got to make a serious decision It could be me up there in stage lights It could be me on the TV in you living room It could be me jet setting with my band all across the world Appearing live in concert one night only, tickets sold out Stop!

There's nothin' more beautiful than a distant star Proof of our ignorance Proof of how small we are (proof of how small we are) Remember gettin' high on the hood of my broke down car Remember how innocent We no longer are (we no longer are) We don't know why we're here But we're not here for long We're not here for long (we're not here for long) Surrounded by souvenirs From days that are gone As we bravely carry on (carry on) We like the words love, trust, and invincible But then trust falls apart and love turns miserable And the light disappears The only thing clear (the only thing clear is) We don't know why we're here But we're not here for long Pretend nothing's wrong (we're not here for long) Surrounded by souvenirs From days that are gone But still, we carry on Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh Oh, oh, oh, oh We all need a memory we can hold onto At least a few souvenirs to show some proof We don't know why we're here But we're not here for long Pretend nothing's wrong Surrounded by souvenirs From days that are gone As we barely carry on (as we barely carry on)

I know sorry is not enough To erase all the pain from when I messed up I'm not here to overturn my conviction These eyes are on the road, the road to redemption Well, it's only until you lose Everything that you love that you're forced to choose And there's nothing like a crash to get your attention To keep you on the straight, the road to redemption I know there's nights when it felt like living hell All those nights when I almost killed myself In the end you never left When I needed your forgiveness It's a long way down from the fall And the terrible truths, yeah, I own them all And I had to hit the bottom to change my direction To find my way back, back to redemption I know there's nights when it felt like living hell All those nights when I almost killed myself In the end you never left When I needed your forgiveness When everyone left me for dead You never gave up, you never quit I remember the words you said We can still be good again Now I'm looking you in the eyes My soul on my sleeve, nothing more to hide And I'm never going back to that condition You showed me the way to redemption I know there's nights when it felt like living hell All those nights when I almost killed myself In the end, you never left when I needed your, needed your forgiveness

Listen to the wind blow Watch the sun rise Running in the shadows Damn your love, damn your lies And if you don't love me now You will never love me again I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain And if you don't love me now You will never love me again I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain Listen to the wind blow Down comes the night Running in the shadows Damn your love, damn your lies Break the silence Damn the dark, damn the light And if you don't love me now You will never love me again I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain And if you don't love me now You will never love me again I can still hear you saying you would never break the chain Oh! Keep it together! Oh! Keep it together! Oh! Keep it together! (I run in the shadow) Oh! Keep it together! (I'm running in the shadows) Oh! Keep it together! (Still running in the shadows) Oh! Keep it together! (I'll run in the shadow) I'm running in the shadows I'm still running in the shadows
