Turn Out The Light

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Coffee getting cold on the kitchen counter Looking at the clock as the daylight fades Every tiny goal that I swore I'd conquer Buried under years of the choice I made People always say that the door stays open Waiting for the spark that's supposed to ignite But the fire didn't catch, and the lock is broken Sitting in the quiet of a Sunday night [Chorus] And it's too late now to turn the wheel around Too late to build what I never found The dust has settled on the open road And I'm tired of carrying a phantom load The future isn't hiding around the bend It's just the steady quiet near the end [Verse 2] I used to keep a list of the places I'd visit Scribbled in the back of a worn-out notebook Now it's just a reminder of the life I missed out Every single chance that I never took The mirror doesn't lie when the morning hits me Tracing out the lines of a slow retreat No dramatic crash, no sudden defeat Just a quiet surrender on a empty street [Chorus] And it's too late now to turn the wheel around Too late to build what I never found The dust has settled on the open road And I'm tired of carrying a phantom load The future isn't hiding around the bend It's just the steady quiet near the end [Bridge] I don't need a lecture on staying brave Or how the dawn is always gonna break Some ships just anchor in the shallow grave Of every single promise they couldn't make [Chorus] And it's too late now to turn the wheel around Too late to build what I never found The dust has settled on the open road And I'm tired of carrying a phantom load The future isn't hiding around the bend It's just the steady quiet near the end [Outro] Just the steady quiet... Turn out the light. It's alright. Just turn out the light.
