when the room goes quiet (Fenix 2.0 remix)

+ Show full styles

**Lyrics:**

[Intro, Clean guitar]
I hate talking about this stuff
Whatever

[Verse 1]
There's still laundry sitting by my door
I keep stepping over it every morning
Mom called Sunday, I watched it ring
Then felt like shit for ignoring it
I don't know why I do that
I love her, I just had nothing to say
Lately every normal conversation
Feels like one more thing I gotta fake

[Pre-Chorus]
My friends ask where I've been
I say around
That's easier than telling them
I haven't felt like going out

[Chorus]
When the room goes quiet
That's when everything gets loud
All the shit I joke about all day
Starts making sense somehow
I miss people I should call
I miss being seventeen and knowing fuck-all
I know tomorrow's gonna show up
It always fucking does
Just leave the hallway light on
When the room goes quiet

[Verse 2]
Found that picture from the lake last night
You know the one where Jake fell off the dock
We laughed until somebody's dad got pissed
Man, I forgot about that
We really thought we'd stay like that forever
Same five idiots, same old town
Now I gotta check three different time zones
Just to see who's still around

[Pre-Chorus]
And nobody did anything wrong
That's what sucks
Life just kinda happened
And suddenly we all grew up

[Verse 3, Muted drums]
Dad asked what I'm doing with my life
I said can we not do this tonight?
He said okay and changed the subject
Somehow that made me wanna cry
I've got notes full of half-assed plans
Songs with verses I never finished
Everybody says I've got so much time
Why does it feel like I'm already behind?

[Bridge, Stripped guitar]
Don't give me some speech
Don't tell me everything happens for a reason
Sometimes shit just hurts
And I don't need it turned into a lesson
Just sit here
Seriously
You don't even have to talk
Put some dumb movie on
Steal half the blanket
Stay until I stop checking the clock

[Build, Drums entering]
I'll be okay
Not right now
But not right now isn't forever

[Final Chorus, Full band]
When the room goes quiet
Maybe I can let it be loud
Let the shit I've been avoiding
Finally fucking come out
I'll call people that I miss
I'll tell my dad I'm scared of all this shit
And tomorrow's gonna show up
It always fucking does
So leave the hallway light on
I'll still be here when morning comes
Yeah, leave the hallway light on
When the room goes quiet

[Post-Chorus, Soft gang vocals]
Still here
Still here
That's enough for tonight
Still here
Still here
Leave on the light

[Outro, Clean guitar]
I called Mom back
She talked for twenty minutes about the neighbor's dog
I barely said anything
But...
I don't know
It helped
