I’m calling it
Next to nothing
Throw a fit
Wires are buzzing
Can’t transmit
The signal’s cutting out again
Must be the weather
Can’t predict
Atmospheric pressure is weighing in
I’m better off with the windows closed
I’m better off with the windows closed
I’m better off with the windows closed
‘Cause I think I’ve been here before
It’s another flash flood, another downpour
It’s another hurricane, another earthquake
It’s another wildfire
It’s another blackout, it’s another blackout, it’s another blackout
That’s right, I’m calling it
The sky is clearing
The light shifts
Wires transmitting everything
I’m still better off with the windows closed
I’m better off with the windows closed
I’m better off with the windows closed
‘Cause I think I’ve been here before
It’s another flash flood, another downpour
It’s another hurricane, another earthquake
It’s another wildfire
It’s another blackout
It’s another flash flood, another downpour
It’s another hurricane, another earthquake
It’s another wildfire
It’s another blackout, it’s another blackout, it’s another blackout

I woke up with a start
Now I can’t slow my heart down
And it’s breaking apart
‘Cause I know you’re not coming ‘round
I wonder where you are
Way above the stars?
I wonder where you are
Sometimes you’re not far
You’ve been away for a long time
Ten years and change
Still got this hill to climb
You’ve been away for a long time
I’m still down here
And you’re still always on my mind
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
I woke up before dawn
It was just about 4am
And you’re flying around
In the ghost town of my head
I wonder where you are
You still playing the guitar?
I know you’re right here
Let’s pour another beer (or two)
You’ve been away for a long time
Ten years and change
Still got this hill to climb
You’ve been away for a long time
I’m still down here
And you’re still always on my mind
Always on my mind
Always on my mind
You’ve been away for a long time

Don’t fall asleep
What does it matter
All of the monsters are already here
Turn it up loud
But still hear the chatter
Always letting it go
Then calling it back
Then letting it go
Always calling it back
There’s a way out of here
But we’re frozen in fear
That the waves might crash us down
Take hold of my hand
Nothing’s gonna go as planned
But with you I might not drown
Yeah with you I might not drown
Don’t hold your breath
‘Cause what does it matter
We all run out of air eventually
Dive under water
But still hear the chatter
Always letting it go
Then calling it back
Then letting it go
Always calling it back
There must be a way out of here
But we’re frozen in fear
That the waves might crash us down
Take hold of my hand
Nothing’s gonna go as planned
But with you I might not drown
There’s a way out of here
Now it’s crystal clear
That the waves will crash us down
Take hold of my hand
Nothing’s gonna go as planned
But with you I might not drown
Yeah with you I might not drown
With you I might not drown
Yeah with you I might not drown

Changing shape
Lose my place
Slowly crumble to nothing
Can’t be sure
Twist and turn
Slowly crumble to nothing
Wait right here till you come around
Try to breathe without a sound
Words to speak but cannot say
Try to find another way
I know it’s all in my head right now
Now I try to stay
In one place
But slowly crumble to nothing
Can’t figure out
What I meant to say
Last time you were right next to me
History is trickery
So I wait right here till you come around
Try to breathe without a sound
Words to speak but cannot say
Try to find another way
While I right here till you come around
Try to breathe without a sound
Words to speak but cannot say
Try to find another way
I know it’s all in my head right now
Changing shape
Lose my place
Slowly crumble to nothing

I DON’T MIND IF YOU NEED TO BE
ALONE FOR A LITTLE WHILE
I DON’T MIND IF YOU NEED FOR ME
TO SHUT UP WHEN MY EYES GET WILD
IT’S A PUSH, A PULL
A GIVE, A TAKE
A RIGHT, A WRONG, A FIGHT
IT’S NOT A WIN OR LOSE
A MAKE OR BREAK
THE DARKNESS NEEDS THE LIGHT
I DON’T MIND JUST LISTENING
TO THE WORDS YOU GOTTA SAY
I DON’T MIND YOU DISTANCING
BUT PLEASE COME BACK TO ME ONE DAY
IT’S A PUSH, A PULL
A GIVE, A TAKE
A RIGHT, A WRONG, A FIGHT
IT’S NOT A WIN OR LOSE
A MAKE OR BREAK
THE DARKNESS NEEDS THE LIGHT
IT’S A PUSH, A PULL
A GIVE, A TAKE
A RIGHT, A WRONG, A FIGHT
IT’S NOT A WIN OR LOSE
A MAKE OR BREAK
THE DARKNESS NEEDS THE LIGHT
THE DARKNESS NEEDS THE LIGHT
THE DARKNESS NEEDS THE LIGHT
