[INTRO — DISTANT CROWD] [arena ambience slowly fading] Thank you For real Thank you [DOOR CLOSES] [VERSE 1 — PIANO] Confetti on an empty floor Somebody rolling cables by the door Twenty minutes ago They knew every word Now I can hear my footsteps More than I heard the crowd Jacket over my shoulder Sweat starting to dry Still got the tape on the floor Showing me where to stand tonight Funny I spent all day waiting For those lights to come on Then they do And three songs later The whole damn night is gone [PRE-CHORUS] I used to think I'd feel different by now Like one big night Would finally figure me out But maybe that's not What this was about [CHORUS] After the lights After the noise After they stop Screaming my voice Who am I When nobody's watching? Still JACE Still me Still wanting One more night One more stage One more chance To give everything When the whole room disappears And I'm standing here alone After the lights I still wanna go [VERSE 2] Saw myself on the big screen Didn't even look like me Ten feet tall Perfect timing Every move right on the beat But backstage I missed a note Changed my shirt Lost my phone Laughed so hard before the encore I almost missed the cue to go That's the shit They never see Maybe that's my favorite part I'm not some picture on a screen I'm a person With a pulse Who loves this way too hard [CHORUS] After the lights After the noise After they stop Screaming my voice Who am I When nobody's watching? Still JACE Still me Still wanting One more night One more stage One more chance To give everything When the whole room disappears And I'm standing here alone After the lights I still wanna go [BRIDGE — BARE VOCAL] If tomorrow Nobody remembers my name Would I still sing? Yeah If the room held twenty people Instead of twenty thousand Would I still move? Yeah If there was no camera No flash No screen Would I still give Everything in me? [PAUSE] Yeah That's how I know [LOW SYNTH PULSE BEGINS] This ain't about being seen I just love what happens When the music hits me [DRUMS BEGIN BUILDING] So turn one light back on [BUILD] One [light click] Two [light click] Three [light click] All of 'em [FINAL DROP] [FINAL CHORUS — MASSIVE] TURN ON THE LIGHTS TURN UP THE NOISE I wanna hear Everybody's voice This is me When everybody's watching Still JACE Still me Still all in One more night One more stage I'm giving everything Till there's nothing left to save And when the whole room disappears I'll already know After the lights I'll still wanna go [EXTENDED VOCAL CLIMAX] Oh-oh-oh Turn 'em on Turn 'em on [HIGH RUN] I still wanna go-o-o-o [STACKED VOCALS + VOCODER] Lights Sound Body Voice All connected Full effect [CALLBACK — HALF-TIME] Full effect Yeah We came full effect [INSTRUMENTS BEGIN DROPPING OUT] [OUTRO — PIANO] Then the lights go out again And this time I smile [softly] See you at the next one [LIGHT SWITCH]
