about

I wanted to write a song that had two parts to the story, a Side A / Side B vinyl feel. So first part: ‘Here On Out’ is all about being completely committed to someone and that it is just the two of you taking on the world while building your own new world at the same time in a complete bubble of blissful ignorance. The second part: ‘Turn Off The Lights’ is all about that world you’ve built coming to an end and trying to face it but denying it somewhat at the same time. Everything comes to an end and that’s the sad fact of reality.

lyrics

Beyond here, I suppose there is nothing
When you were gone, what were you thinking?
About why, does it feel
Like everything and everyone, can see through me?

And if there is really something, something here
Give me the strength, to see it through
These footsteps that shuffle, shuffle in my sleep
Do you love what you know, or yet to see

C:
From Here On Out, Its just you and I, Together at last
From Here On Out, Its just you and I, Broken and bent

Well our bones our minds, were soft and frail
Like facades torn down, overnight
You call out their name, there’s no one around
All the excuses you tell yourself, you don’t believe somehow

C:
From Here On Out, Its just you and I, Together at last
From Here On Out, Its just you and I, Broken and bent

Our home is little more, than a venue,
Without an audience I’d rather, disappear than fight
Do the things really come, to those who wait
So patiently not noticing, you have slipped away
So why don’t you change what, makes you unhappy
As long as that change doesn’t, look like me
They say everyone has to be, from somewhere
It has to be worthless and free, worthless and free

C:
From Here on Out, Its just you and I, Together at last
From Here on Out, Its just you and I, Broken and bent
From Here on Out, It’s just you and I, The two of us left
From Here on Out, It’s just the way, it all happened to be

Hardly anyone here, knows that they’re ending
Hardly anyone knows, there’s no more time
You’ve got to be open, to stop pretending
And the tunnel may reveal itself, to never had any light
Hardly anyone knows, that they’re ending
Hardly anyone knows, there’s no time
You’ve got to be open, to stop pretending
And the tunnel, may reveal itself, to never had any light

C: So turn off the lights, when your time, is finally over

And if you recall, were any pages from our book
Missing was there a thread, being pulled unravelling
You’ve got to be open, to stop pretending
And the tunnel, may reveal itself, to never had any light

C: So turn out the lights, when your time, is finally over
