Time's running out just as fast as it can
   She's leaving me cold
   I don't understand
   Hearts beating hard on the edge of the floor
   Gotta kill this pain 'cause I can't take no more
  
   Bright Lights on a cold night
   If it feels good then it's alright
  
   Thinking about when we first met
   All these memories kill me
   Get them out of my head
   The flashing lights of the cities roar
   Make my mind a blurr
   Who's knocking on the door
   Nothing's for keeps
   Can't get no sleep
   My future is late
   Guess I'll find it next week
  
   Bright Lights on a cold night
   If it feels good then it's alright
   She's caught up in the spotlight
  
   See her up there in a New York fashion show
   See the freedom in her eyes
   Could've chose a better time
   For it all to go wrong
  
   Another night and my life is my own
   But it scares me half to death
   Out in the bars in the village with friends
   You can buy me a drink
   But please don't mention her name
  
   Bright Lights on a cold night
   She's up there in the spotlight
   Now it's over and it's goodnight
  
   Bright Lights (x 3)
  
   See her up there in a New York fashion show
   See the freedom in her eyes
   Could've chose a better time
   For it all to go wrong
  
   Bright Lights on a cold night
   If it feels good then it's alright
