Lights Go Up

Lights Go Up - Fucked 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
