Light up the Stage

Hello, hello, hello, hello
Memories of sand
You should know
Things are different from how you planned
And the ocean swallows everything

Trust your head, trust your gut
Trust your body, trust your
Inability to ever like a party. And the
World is much smaller than you think

Light up the stage and
Forget your smile
Day by day
But it's been a while
Never really choosing what to do

And you crawl out of bed and you
Put on your shoes and you
Run out the door
There is so much to do
Remember when you used to have the time

Come on, come on, come on, keep
Shoveling the coal
Can't you see
I don't need you to lose control
Cause the ocean breaks down everything

Count your hair, count your blessings
Count your cash, countin'
All the miles left until your out of gas, counting
All the things you know you'll never need

Well
Light up the stage and
Forfeit your smile
Day by day
And it'll be a while
Never really feeling anything

And you crawl out of bed and your
Vision is blurred and you
Talk really loud
Goddamn right, I'll be heard
Remember when you used to try your best

Oh, no
It's been a while
Hasn't it been a while?
Oh, well
It's been a while
And it's time to start again

Hello, hello, hello, hello
Memories of sand
Don't you know
You are different from where you stand
You don't have to explain anything

Fighting hard, fighting back
Fighting dirty, fight your
Inability to make it through your 30s with the
Ocean always lapping at your feet

Light up the stage and
Forget your smile
Day by day
But it's been a while
Never really choosin' what to do

And you crawl out of bed and you
Put on your shoes and you
Run out the door
There is so much to do
Remember when you used to have the time

Just spectating the show I'm supposed to sing
