Mix Tapes/Cell Mates

Lyricist:Rocky Votolato

I am a prisoner in the sunlight
You are my cellmate in the darkness
There's a box full of mix tapes
With titles you came up with

They can show us where we came from
But not how to get back there
Listening to the songs can't heal my broken fingers
It's just weight for the anchor to keep your ship here

Goldfish crackers in a zip-lock bag
In a gas station garbage can
I'm filling up this evening
So I won't have to at 6 a.m.

On my way into work but that could have been me
Working behind that counter on the curb there smoking
We're really not that different just a few steps from exploding

And I'm serving time till I've earned the right
To go back to the place where we started from
Now I'm serving time till I've earned the right
Baby, I swear one day we'll get the money straight

I am a prisoner in the sunlight
You are my cellmate in the darkness
I just hope, I wake up
Before this streetlight changes

You know this world is eating him alive
But you just can't find the metaphor to describe
The bottle of pills and the emptiness in the soft light

And I'm serving time till I've earned the right
To go back to the place where we started from
Yeah, I'm serving time till I've earned the right
Baby, I swear one day we'll get the money straight
