The lights are still on(Unplugged)

[intro] [verse 1] Bus ride home at half past midnight The storm turns the windows into watercolor stains Everybody glowing softly in their apartments Like tiny planets with familiar names I wonder if somebody’s making tea right now Or falling asleep with the TV on There’s comfort in complete strangers Living lives I’ll never know [chorus] The lights are still on Somewhere out there Somebody’s laughing Somebody still cares Somebody’s dancing alone in the kitchen Somebody’s crying into the sink And maybe the whole world’s a little less lonely Than my anxiety wants me to think The lights are still on [instrumental] The lights are still on [verse 2] Overdue books and unread messages Both stacked beside my bed I always underline the sentences That feel like things I should’ve said There’s an old man feeding pigeons near the station Like it’s some sacred daily rite And suddenly the whole exhausted city Doesn’t feel so hard to survive [chorus] The lights are still on Somewhere out there Somebody’s laughing Somebody still cares Somebody’s dancing alone in the kitchen Somebody’s crying into the sink And maybe the whole world’s a little less lonely Than my anxiety wants me to think The lights are still on [instrumental solo] The lights are still on [acoustic guitar solo] [bridge] Maybe everybody’s scared of everybody Maybe everybody’s faking being fine Maybe all these glowing windows in the distance Are just people trying to survive the night I spent half my life inside library aisles Trying to find myself in somebody else's lines Maybe that’s why I still look at the skyline Like every window’s trying to say: [final chorus] The lights are still on Somewhere out there Somebody’s laughing Somebody still cares Somebody’s dancing alone in the kitchen Somebody’s crying into the sink And maybe the whole world’s a little less lonely Than my anxiety wants me to think The lights are still on [outro] The lights are still on
