Tuesday Afternoon (Turn Off the Lights) Lyrics

It's cold out here

Just like it used to be inside

Now I bring my jacket while it feels like summer in my mind

I fell asleep trying to wake up

Just like I do every day

Dreary from a night trying to dull my mind

Turn off the lights

It takes a while, but if you hold me up we'll see the other side

You told me to be patient

Maybe waiting is the only thing that we can do

A choir sings with one out of key

The illusion upheld

If you can't hear me am I really talking?

All the people around me

What do they see?

I'll never know what you think of me, no matter how I try

Turn off the lights

It takes a while, but if you hold me up we'll see the other side

You told me to be patient

Maybe waiting is the only thing that we can do

Birds in the trees

By the parking lot

I wonder what they think of all this cement

Flying over cars

While the land it rots

Where is it that all the trees went?

Turn off the lights

It takes a while, but if you hold me up we'll see the other side

You told me to be patient

Maybe waiting is the only thing that we can do

Summer nights

When will we collide?

Hate it when we fight

I'd hate to end up sitting here another lonely night
