Red Eye Lyrics

Ask me I say I know
Oh it's sarcastic I take the show
Guess tonight I'm on my own

Cold rush in my veins
Oh I can't believe myself
Guess tonight I'm all alone

Now you're the only thing that keeps me moving here

So tonight, I'll take the Red Eye
I won't say goodnight, I won't tonight.

You say, please please don't go away
I'd beg if you'd ever stay
All those nights we've left alone

You wonder what I'll say
Oh, it's not worth it to lose someone
But tonight I'm on my own

Now you're the only thing that keeps me hanging on

So tonight, I'll take the Red Eye
I won't say goodnight, I won't tonight.
And tonight, I'll take the Red Eye
I won't say goodnight, I won't tonight.

Won't you stay with me a while?
I could never.
Won't you stay with me a while?
I could never.

So tonight, I'll take the Red Eye
I won't say goodnight, I won't tonight.

Cold rush to my veins,
Oh I can't believe myself
Wonder what I'll say
Oh it's not worth it to lose someone

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

in my mind im thinking this song is about trying a drug.. not just one certain drug but one with a name change to some kind of metaphor. wikipedia says that red eye is a drug on cowboy bebop and ace seems nerdy enough to take that and change it into an awesome song.. any thoughts? it seems kinda logical but it could also mean a late flight in a way too
