Headlights Lyrics

Last thing I remember
Last thing I remember
Last thing I remember
Somebody was laughing in my ear
Last thing I remember
The sun was coming up
Last thing I remember
Last thing I remember

Hey, the headlights are getting too
Close to me
Hey, the headlights are cutting me
I can see
Somewhere above me
I can see
My friend weeping
My friend singing over me
Lifting her arms up to the sky
Lifting her arms up to the sky

....
Somewhere above me
I can hear
Like birds singing
Or are they weeping

Get up around eight
Get up around eight
Get up around eight
Get up around eight
Let's make some coffee
And get real stoned
Hey, let's play a record or two
A record or two
A record or two
A record or two
Hey, the headlights are getting too
Close to me
Hey, the headlights are cutting me
And I can see I'm alone
It's cold as hell
It's cold as hell
It's cold as hell
It's cold as hell
It's cold as hell

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
