Dashboard Confessional - Belle Of The Boulevard Lyrics






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

[Chorus:]
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

In all your silver rings
And all your silken things
That song you softly sing – is keeping you from breaking
It’s a long way down
It’s a long way
Back here you never loved
You’ve shaked the shivers off
You take a drink to get your courage up
Can you believe it
Just this once
Just for now
And just like that
It’s over

[Chorus]

Please hold on – it’s alright
Please hold on – it’s alright
Please hold on

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

[Chorus x2]

    Dashboard Confessional teaches us life lesson:
    Don't turn away
    ,
    Dry your eyes.
    Don't be afraid,
    Keep it all inside.

    When you fall apart,
    Dry your eyes.
    Life is always hard...
    Please hold on, it's alright


    *Damn.*

  33. C.... B....

    Until now i listining this music and its remind me a person who i love so much...

  34. J.... C....

    been listening to this band way back 2007. 2019 pls?

  35. A.... B....

    The people from the 90's and early 2000's have better taste in music than this current generation.. It's all about quality back then, not hype.

    A.... B....

    Indeed.👍

    A.... B....

    Yes but this current generation Is made by people who were born in '90s and early '00

    A.... B....

    @playmaker 101well many people now even coming from the 90's and 00 blended in, otherwise they won't fit with the majority and that includes the artists/bands/musicians. What I am saying are the times back then, not today.. because some will have to change in order to fit in to what's more generally accepted. Crap music now becomes popular because of hype and because more wants to belong in what's recent, regardless if it's not quality.

    A.... B....

    I'm trying to write stuff like dashboard, but all I'm getting is their type of riffs rn, lyrically I cant get more profound than Stacy's mom
