Dashboard Confessional

Down in a local bar
Out on the boulevard
The sound of an old guitar
Is saving you from sinking
It's a long way down
It's a long way back
Like you never broke
You tell a dirty joke
He touches your leg
And thinks he's getting close
For now you let him,
Just this once, just for now
And just like that, it's over

Don't turn away
Dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Don't be afraid
But keep it all inside, all inside
When you fall apart
Dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Life is always hard
For the belle of the boulevard

In and all you silver rings
And all your silk and things
That song that you softly sing
Is keeping you from breaking
It's a long way down
It's a long way
That key you never lost
You shake your shivers off
You take a drink to get your courage on
Can you believe it?
Just this once, just for now
And just like that, its over

Don't turn away
Dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Don't be afraid
Keep it all inside, all inside
When you fall apart
Dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Life is always hard
For the belle of the boulevard

Please hold on, its alright
Please hold on, its alright
Please hold on

Down in a local bar
Out on the boulevard
The sound of an old guitar
Is saving you

Don't turn away
Dry your eyes, dry your eyes
don't be afraid
But keep it all inside, all inside
We fall apart
Dry you eyes, dry your eyes
Life is always hard
Let me dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Don't turn away
Time to dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Don't be afraid
But keep it all inside, all inside
We fall apart
Time to dry your eyes, dry your eyes
Life is always hard
For the belle of the boulevard
