When the Lights Come Back

We left our names on bathroom walls

Like proof that we were here

A thousand nights, a thousand calls

That somehow disappeared

I still remember every street

We swore we’d never leave

And every dream we couldn’t keep

Still follows me

Maybe we were never meant To have it figured out

Maybe getting lost together Was what this was about

When the lights come back

And the noise fades away

Will you remember me The way I remember you today?

If we lose this road If we don’t know where it ends

I’ll hear you singing

When the lights come back again

Whoa-oh-oh When the lights come back Whoa-oh-oh We’ll find our way back

We wore our hearts like battle scars

And laughed when they could see

How every little broken part

Was still a part of me

We said forever far too young

Like we knew what it meant But I’d make every wrong turn

twice If it brought me here again

Maybe all the years ahead Will pull us different ways But some

songs never really end They just change their place

Hey! Hey!

If you’re still here,

sing it back!

And if tomorrow takes us

Somewhere we don’t recognize

Promise you’ll look back once

Before you close your eyes Because we were young We were reckless

We were more

than we knew

And every version of me Still leads back to you

So if you’re out there— SING IT WITH ME!

When the lights come back… And the noise fades away… I’ll hear

you singing

When the lights come back again!

Whoa-oh-oh! WHEN THE LIGHTS COME BACK!

Whoa-oh-oh!

WE’LL FIND OUR WAY BACK!

If the lights go out… I’ll still hear you.
