Starlit Incline

(mmm-hmm) You were just the plus-one by the door Now you're keeping score

on the cold brass rail Holding tight but looking casual and pale

Underneath the streetlight flickers slow Plastic keycard shining in the glow

We are leaning on the edge of grandeur

Plastic keys and streetlights in the rain (yeah) Now you're the main

event, no passenger

Holding on to what we can't explain

Cheap motel room numbers on the plastic tab Catching neon green from

the corner cab

You went from the shadow to the center light Casual posture but

you're holding tight

And the light flickers once,

flickers twice (flicker slow) Paying the price

for the center stage

Just a casual hand on the rail (holding tight,

holding on) Underneath the streetlights
