Turn The Lights Back On Lyrics Billy Joel

Please open the door

Nothing is different, we've been here before

Pacing these halls

Trying to talk over the silence

And pride sticks out its tongue

Laughs at the portrait that we've become

Stuck in a frame, unable to change

I was wrong

I'm late, but I'm here right now

Though I used to be romantic

I forgot somehow

Time can make you blind

But I see you now

As we're laying in the darkness

Did I wait too long

To turn the lights back on?


Here, stuck on a hill

Outsiders inside the home that we built

The cold settles in

It's been a long winter of indifference

And maybe you love me, maybe you don't

Maybe you'll learn to, maybe you won't

You've had enough, but I won't give up

On you

I'm late, but I'm here right now

And I'm tryin' to find the magic

That we lost somehow

Maybe I was blind

But I see you now

As we're laying in the darkness

Did I wait too long

To turn the lights back on?

I'm late, but I'm here right now

Is there still time for forgiveness?

Won't you tell me how?

I can't read your mind

But I see you now

As we're layin' in the darkness

Did I wait too long

To turn the lights back on?


I'm here right now

Yes, I'm here right now

Looking for forgiveness

I can see as we're laying in the darkness

Yeah, as we're laying in the darkness

Did I wait too long

To turn the lights back on?
