Maples hang low
Ice on the road
Puddles, muddy snow
Sun down at four

Lock me down, don't ever let me go
Drive around a dead-end cul-de-sac road
Let me drown in a pile of northern gold
'Cause in this town, it's not a pretty show

Hangin' on to a lightnin' bolt
It flashes once, I let it go
After all these years, I've lost my hope
On the darker days
On the darker days

White in my hair
Age me, who cares
Boredom, messy affairs, mm
Table of empty chairs

Lock me down (Down) , don't evеr let me go
Drive around ('Round) a dеad-end cul-de-sac road
Let me drown (Drown) in a pile of northern gold
'Cause in my town, it's not a pretty show

Hangin' on to a lightnin' bolt
It flashes once, I let it go
After all these years, I've lost my hope
On the darker days
On the dark—

I dream of long nights, feelin' the life
Not doin' the same thing a million times
The best part of winter is the middle of July
Hold tight to the light before it dies
Before it dies

Hangin' on to a lightnin' bolt
It flashes once, I let it go (Once I let it go, I let it go)
After all these years, I've lost my hope
On the darker days (Days)
On the darker days
On the darker days
On the darker days
