Real Nighttime Lyrics - Real Nighttime - Game Theory

Pull back the credit we take for breaking through 

To the moment before we really knew 

Take off the jackets and shirts and see some skin 

Feel a chill of the air we were born in 

Before the debate came in 

The rewards are great for those who can stay 

Would you all push me offside 

Force me to hide from the sun? 

Look at the oneupsmanship that gets you through 

And you'll see that one put down is you 

Shine the harsh light on the faults of those you know 

And you'll find it's so bright your eyes stay closed 

You better get on the first bus home 

What makes it okay? So tempting to stay 

Would you all turn me aside 

Force me to hide from the sun 

If I should run when real nighttime comes? 

If I should look down off my ledge 

Pare down the man who can order someone dead 

To the boy who can't take the sight of red 

Show the landlady who throws her weight around 

As the girl who won't walk alone downtown 

And you'll see it's a long way down 

My bed in my room, I need some sleep 

Would it be so much to ask 

To please leave out of the fun? 

'Cause I'm not the one 

If I should run when real nighttime comes 

If I should look down off my ledge 

Now I don't want anything I can't afford 

Just a letter from home and a lock on the door
