You can dream when it's over The future's an open wine When nothing gets closer But birthdays you count in fright You've lived in the moment The moment's gone in no time So why are you frozen stuck Watching that dying light? Oh, you can force a big smile Straighten your spine You can cycle to work Or you can turn off the lights It doesn't have to be alright ♪ You miss that pull of the doona Of TV shows binged like wine Days in bed with your laptop Where time was so long and ripe What's making you anxious? What's keeping you up at night? Old, contempt with improvement Of routine so dead and dry Oh, you can yell at your friends Drink all the time You can lie to yourself Or you can turn off the lights It doesn't have to be alright ♪ Your fate, your life Your best self dies Your curse, your prize No one decides You can burn that bridge down You can try to be nice You can forget yourself Or you can turn off the light
