A Light That Never Comes

Look at all the people wearing jackets in the sun
Walking in their sleep, trying to succumb
There's always gonna be a better place for us to go
Running free and careless like when we were young

Sometimes I feel the moonlight doesn't care to show its glow
Some nights I wish the sun would never go
So I won't spend my nights just laying on the floor

For a light that never comes
A light that never shows
But I'll keep waiting to break on me
Cause I'll never let it go
I'll never be strong
But I'm still waiting for a light that never comes

Across my window I can hear the children in the shops
Laughing and blooming like an evergreen
And all the working classes moving slowly through their jobs
Waiting for a spark somewhere in between

And every day grows shorter and much colder than before
Now I can't help but feeling too far gone
Sedated, still I'm staring at the door

For a light that never comes
A light that never shows
And I'll keep waiting to break on me
Cause I'll never let it go
I'll never let it show, oh no

Someday we'll see it come
Someday we'll see it clear
Shining down on us
Someday you'll keep me warm
The calm before the storm
It's coming, oh it's coming
I'm not waiting anymore!

For a light that never comes
A light that never shows
But I'll keep waiting to break on me
Cause I'll never let it go
I'll never be strong, oh no
