The Brightest Bulb Has Burned Out / Screws Fall Out Songtext
von Less Than Jake

You told me that your 20 years have gone by much too fast
And you′ve been hoping this year will be better than the last
You said you've been waging a war against the loneliest of nights
With the strongest drinks and longest lines, it′s not that big a surprise
That you're feeling more dead than alive
You're feeling more dead than alive

So I′ll let you know
If you need
Somewhere to go
I′ll be listening when you call
And I'll be there if you fall off
If you need someone to believe in you
I′ll let you know I will

You said that the hole in your head has gotten bigger than the hole that's in your chest
And you′re stuck between the past and present tense
You said you've been waging a war against so many years of lies
With stronger drinks and longer lines, it′s not that big a surprise
That you're feeling more dead than alive
You're feeling more dead than alive


So I′ll let you know
If you need
Somewhere to go
I′ll be listening when you call
And I'll be there if you fall off
If you need someone to believe in you
I′ll let you know I will
I'll let you know I will
I′ll let you know I will
But sometimes...

You gotta let it go!
Gotta let it go!

So this pen
Is starting to become
A pipe bomb, and these songs
Have turned to anthems again
To everything that's changed
And to everything that′s gone away
Here's my condolences
To the future I never met
It's gone and never coming back
It′s not coming back, so don′t hold on to your past

You gotta let it go!
Gotta let it go!

'Cause friends leave as time fades away
The people and the places along the way
Without a doubt
Yeah, screws fall in, and screws, they fall out


Tomorrow′s gone up in smoke
And I wonder when I'm alone
"Where′d my convictions go?"
So to everyone that's gone away
Or fades away or stays the same
Here′s my apologies
To the person that I used to be
Before I burned down every bridge and every inch of everything I used to know

I gotta let it go!
Gotta let it go!

'Cause friends leave as time fades away
The people and the places along the way
Without a doubt
Yeah, screws fall in, and screws, they fall out

Friends leave as time fades away
The people and the places along the way
So don't hold on to your past
No, it′s never coming back
(You gotta let it go!) ′Cause friends leave as time fades away
The people and the places along the way
(Let it go!) Without a doubt
Yeah, screws fall in and screws fall out

Friends leave as time fades away
The people and the places along the way
Without a doubt
Yeah, screws fall in and screws fall out
Without a doubt
Yeah, screws fall in and screws fall out
Without a doubt
Yeah, screws fall in and screws fall out
Without a doubt
Yeah, screws fall in and screws fall out
Without a doubt
Yeah, screws fall in, and screws, they fall out
