Текст песни Trying to Keep the Lights On - Michael Franti , Spearhead

Days get dark and the nights get long
And I just keep wakin' up to the same old song
And that same voice in my head that's always runnin' around

Whoa, now, the clock ticktock and the whole world stops
But the bills I got they just keep on pilin' up
I'm tryna keep up
Keepin' up, but it's kinda gettin' me down

You see I'm just one in seven billion
Tryin' to keep the lights on
Tryin' to keep the lights on
I'm tryin' to keep the lights on
Tryin' to keep the lights on, oh now

You and me are the same you see
We got big, big plans and big, big dreams
And I'm never gonna let the world ever take 'em away, whoa, now

You and me and the whole family
We were gonna fill our bus with the love we got in us
Pull it out of the driveway and fly away

You see, I'm just one in seven billion
Tryin' to keep the lights on
Tryin' to keep the lights on
Tryin' to keep the lights on
Tryin' to keep the lights on

Oh now, dollars turn to dust
And I just hold my hope there's one more life
My heart is broke but I ain't broken down

See, I'm tryin' to keep the lights on
Tryin' to keep the lights on
I'm tryin' to keep the lights on
Tryin' to keep the lights on, whoa, now

Whoa, my heart is heavy but
Whoa, I'm in heaven like
Whoa, my heart is heavy but
Whoa, I'm in heaven with you

Tryin' to keep the lights on
Tryin' to keep the lights on
Tryin' to keep the lights on

I'm tryin' to keep the lights on
I'm tryin' to keep the lights on
Tryin' to keep the lights on
I'm tryin' to keep the lights on
Keep the lights on
