Lyrics for Flashing Lights

I am wearing a white long sleeve button down The pink colors behind the clouds tonight Mirror the softer shades of your nightgown As the neurotransmitters go crazy inside of me I swear you're leaving town Empty promises, empty promises I am watching the way the wind seems to pass straight through your body When you run your fingernail along my neck And you spill some water on me You say you're as good as gone Well don't look now but here comes the dawn Empty promises, empty promises, empty promises
