Getting High in Dubai - Faceless Names and Nameless Faces Lyrics

Sleepless and longing
Thinking of calling
To ask how you're doing
Cause I'm not healing
There on the balcony
Where you used to make love to me
Staring at city lights
Tears in gigabytes
Broken hearts and insomnia
Wander downstairs to the bar
Where other lost causes mourn
Fading away and forlorn

In the midnight rain
Boarding the last train
It was over you said
Text read the flame's dead
That night on my replay
In my pounding head
Just last year talked of futures
Now I'm holding together sutures

Heartbreak and insomnia
Heartbreak and insomnia
Heartbreak and insomnia

Losing empty hopes
One day you'll return
And you're better off without me
Broken hearts and insomnia
Wander downstairs to the bar
Where other lost causes force pretend smiles
Heartbreak eats us like crocodiles

Heartbreak and insomnia
Heartbreak and insomnia
Heartbreak and insomnia

Sara's a nameless face
On the 720 bus
Feels like God's mistake
Eyes squint from dessert dust
She got married young
Ran away from Lexington
Not for dreams just better than
Leaving a violent man

Asks herself what am I doing here
Can't shed this inner fear
Feels insignificant
Curled up in the room she rents
Taking an acting class
Made her feel depressed
An extra in other people's lives
Keep disappointment repressed

All the nameless faces
Make a silent movie
As they pass Sara by
Heart heavy moving slowly

Riding the Metrolink
Gives Sara time to think
Should she go to nursing school
Why so expensive to be cool

All the nameless faces
Make a silent movie
As they pass Sara by
Heart heavy moving slowly
All the nameless faces
Make a silent movie
