Light Goes Up

I am old but I want to do it again

But like the end of a book when there are no pages left

You can only look back at the time that you spent

Not the life that you wanted but the life that you led

I've seen it all but I don't know what's next

Ours wasn't a love for an audience

The pictures we take don't resolve, they only reflect

Feeling like I've been here before

Stood on this stage, walked through that door

There are still so many things that I will never know

After the lights go up and the curtains close

I've seen it all but I don't know what's next

Ours wasn't a love for an audience

The pictures we take don't resolve, they only reflect

I'm still in love with you, after all this time

The best days of my life were when you were mine

They'll be the branches I always use to climb through my life

Sometimes life is so empty, sometimes life is so cold

I wanted to grow old with you but I put that on hold

I'll see you again when our story gets retold

And I've been here before, I've been here before

And I've been here before, I've been here before

Cast a seed to the sky as my valediction

That you could be the vine to grow a truth from the fiction

Empty the theatre, rush through the door

Start living the life you never could before

It's the morning again at the factory

Someone will meet me there and rip me out of my dream

Warm my blood before I say goodbye

A new sun in the sky and love will never die
