Turn Out the Light Lyrics
I know that it burns like poison in the pill.
You sing in your sleep, it echoes in the hills.
You cant hear a word,
You cant hear my broken will
The world through a windshield is callous and cheap
I toss and I turn - I can't get to sleep
Counting the hours, the days that turn into weeks.
Chorus:
I've been wrong, but it's alright.
There've been long and lonely nights.
I was lost till I found you.
I'm turnin' out the light, I'll stay if you want me to.
Somehow my time got outta my hands.
I just wanna stop, master commands.
Telling the truth won't be this way again.
A long ways away, but you're never alone.
I look at the sky, over our home.
I'll be around; a few more miles to go.
Chorus
You don't have to say it, you don't have to speak.
I've been away, worried and weak.
Don't say a word.
Chorus
You sing in your sleep, it echoes in the hills.
You cant hear a word,
You cant hear my broken will
I toss and I turn - I can't get to sleep
Counting the hours, the days that turn into weeks.
I've been wrong, but it's alright.
There've been long and lonely nights.
I was lost till I found you.
I'm turnin' out the light, I'll stay if you want me to.
I just wanna stop, master commands.
Telling the truth won't be this way again.
A long ways away, but you're never alone.
I look at the sky, over our home.
I'll be around; a few more miles to go.
I've been away, worried and weak.
Don't say a word.

So... just wanted to verify how fucking incredible this song is.
Logansrun, it's verfied.
Also, I love the name.
Bad Astronaut reference?
Such a beautiful song.
I think it's a song about loving someone while on the road, and having to reassure the other person that everythin will be alright, despite being apart for so long.
I think Matt wrote this one for his wife. =)
these lyrics are wrong
Err....how?
Turn out the light, I'll stay if you want me to!
That part when you can hear the clapping sound with that nice voice is so nice!
