Nine to five the clock's a slow-moving stream
Tap-tapping keys living someone else's dream
Coffee cup my only faithful friend
Counting hours oh when will this day end?

(Oh oh) Waiting for that Friday sun
(Oh yeah) My real life's just begun

Weekend's here it's movie time
Escape to worlds sublime
Dim the lights let the show begin
On my couch I'm diving in

Monday blues they hit me like a train
Through the week it's just the same old game
But my screen it waits for me at home
Epics thrillers in them I roam

(Can't wait) Popcorn's popping ready to go
(Come on) Let those movie credits roll
(Here we go) Adventure laughter tears or fright
Cinema's my Friday night

Weekend's here it's movie time
Escape to worlds sublime
Dim the lights let the show begin
On my couch I'm diving in

Saturday night the screen's my stage
For a few hours I'll escape my cage
Till Monday calls in stories I'll live
Thankful for the escape they give

[Ad Libs]
(Yeah just relax) It’s my time
(Got my snacks got my films) This is the life
(No alarms no deadlines) Just me and my screen
(That’s right movie marathon!) All weekend long

Shadows flicker on the midnight screen
A message left where the city leans
Fingertips trace static lines
Falling into coded signs

Signals bending hearts in motion
Lost between the waves devotion
A silent spark a hidden door
Something pulls us back for more

Feel the current pulling closer
Gravity can’t hold us over
Every second a new collision
No escape from this decision

Glitches hum beneath our breath
Distant voices dance with death
Mirrors show what we can’t see
Phantom touch electric dreams

Signals bending hearts in motion
Lost between the waves devotion
A silent spark a hidden door
Something pulls us back for more

Feel the current pulling closer
Gravity can’t hold us over
Every second a new collision
No escape from this decision

No words left just motion
Wired deep in this devotion
If we break we break together
Nothing’s built to last forever

Feel the current pulling closer
Gravity can’t hold us over
Every second a new collision
No escape from this decision

Yeah-eh uh-huh na-na-na-na
We’re outta control — oh!

Midnight city glitter eyes
I’m not your type but you still try
Too many stories on my phone
but tonight I’m writing my own

All my friends in slow-mo frames
dancing wild forgetting names
Heartbeat syncs with stereo —
I don’t care just let it go! (uh-huh)

Out of control (uh!)
I’m losing my halo (yeah!)
Lights are on fire (ah!)
don’t need no hero!
Spin me around let the rhythm roll —
we’re out of out of out of control!

Glitter lips and candy lies
you say forever I say “bye”
Mirror selfies broken heels
still look good — that’s how it feels

No regrets no morning calls
we own the night we take it all
Heartbeat syncs with stereo —
don’t slow down just let it go! (o-oh)

Out of control (uh!)
I’m losing my halo (yeah!)
Lights are on fire (ah!)
don’t need no hero!
Spin me around let the rhythm roll —
we’re out of out of out of control!

O-oh no rules tonight
we’re neon high on satellite
O-oh one touch I’m gone —
my chaos turns me on!

Out of control (uh!)
I’m losing my halo (yeah!)
No one to blame no one to know
we’re out of out of out of control!

You took the long way home again
Counted every coin you spent
Said the city had no manners
But you kept your Sunday sense

There’s a man at the station
With a paper and a grin
Says the world keeps turning
But nobody clocks in

You had plans on a napkin
Now they’re folded in your coat
You keep laughing at the timing
Like it’s some private joke

There’s a queue at the bakery
There’s a dog outside the bank
There’s a song from a taxi
That you almost want to thank

You don’t need a big answer
You don’t need a grand escape
You just need one decent Tuesday
And a bit less on your plate

So you straighten your collar
Let the bad news pass
Put your hands in your pockets
And you make it last

Not winning not losing
Just doing the math
Some days get better
Better by half

Better by half
That’s good enough
A little less worry
A little more luck

Better by half
No golden plan
Just one more joke
And a steady hand

You don’t need glory
You don’t need proof
Just somebody laughing
At the back of the room

Better by half
That’s good enough
A little less worry
A little more luck

Your cousin had a theory
About getting out clean
Then he bought a small van
And a coffee machine

Now he parks by the market
With his radio low
Says the secret is simple
Never let Monday know

You remember old trouble
With a smile on its face
How it sat beside your future
And took up all the space

But you made a little progress
On a very plain day
Paid one bill sent one message
Threw one bad thought away

So you straighten your collar
Let the bad news pass
Put your hands in your pockets
And you make it last

Not winning not losing
Just doing the math
Some days get better
Better by half

Better by half
That’s good enough
A little less worry
A little more luck

Better by half
No golden plan
Just one more joke
And a steady hand

You don’t need glory
You don’t need proof
Just somebody laughing
At the back of the room

Better by half
That’s good enough
A little less worry
A little more luck

No parade no headline
No speech to rehearse
Just a small kind of fortune
When it could have been worse

You can carry your worries
But loosen the strap
Life may not fix you
But it cuts you some slack

Better by half
That’s good enough
A little less worry
A little more luck

Better by half
No golden plan
Just one more joke
And a steady hand

You don’t need glory
You don’t need proof
Just somebody laughing
At the back of the room

Better by half
That’s good enough
A little less worry
A little more luck

You took the long way home again
Counted every coin you spent
Said the city had no manners
But you kept your Sunday sense

I told you enough to calm your doubt
Left every harder detail out
Called it mercy called it care
But truth with holes is still unfair
You read my face before my words
Knew every answer had been curved
I kept the facts at arm's length
Then watched that distance take our strength

I cannot ask for trust again
Without admitting where I bent

I was halfway honest
That means halfway gone
I gave you selected pieces
Then asked you to hold on
I was halfway honest
You deserved the whole
No more careful versions
No more edited soul

I made excuses sound so clean
Kept my fault behind a screen
Said I wanted us to heal
While I hid what you could feel
You never asked for perfect proof
Only one complete hard truth
So here it is without defense
I broke our bond with half events

I cannot ask for trust again
Without admitting where I bent

I was halfway honest
That means halfway gone
I gave you selected pieces
Then asked you to hold on
I was halfway honest
You deserved the whole
No more careful versions
No more edited soul

If you leave I understand
If you stay I change my stand
Either way this much is true
I will not hide myself from you

I was halfway honest
That means halfway gone
I gave you selected pieces
Then asked you to hold on
I was halfway honest
You deserved the whole
Now you get the full truth
No more edited soul

You left your coat on the back of my chair
A silent reminder that you were there
Coffee's gone cold but I still sip slow
Tracing the patterns where your fingers go

I replay conversations word for word
Searching for meanings I might've heard
But silence speaks louder than our last fight
And I'm alone with the fading light

I don't need a map to feel lost
Every step forward comes at a cost
You were the compass I used to trust
Now I'm navigating through the dust

Your records still spin on repeat
Each note a memory I can't delete
Walls echo with the songs we knew
Now they're just melodies without you

I write letters I'll never send
Drafting apologies that won't mend
The distance grows with every line
Yet I can't cross this fault of mine

I don't need a map to feel lost
Every step forward comes at a cost
You were the compass I used to trust
Now I'm navigating through the dust

Maybe time will chart a new course
One where regrets show no remorse
But until then I'll walk this line
Between your past and future mine

I don't need a map to feel lost
Every step forward comes at a cost
You were the compass I used to trust
Now I'm navigating through the dust

I saw your face in the glass rain
Sliding down the window line
City lights were losing color
But your shadow still found mine

You said nothing lasts forever
Like forever was a crime
I kept counting every silence
Like it might give back the time

We don't have to call it love
We don't have to name the fire
Just stay close enough tonight
To feel the wire

If the morning takes you
Let it take you slow
Leave a little echo
Where the blue lights glow

I'll be moving through the glass rain
With your heartbeat in the floor
Every street becomes an ocean
Every door becomes your door

We were never made for answers
Only signals in the dark
Two lost satellites turning
Round the same electric spark

We don't have to call it love
We don't have to name the fire
Just stay close enough tonight
To feel the wire

If the morning takes you
Let it take you slow
Leave a little echo
Where the blue lights glow

And if the night forgets us
I will still know
How your voice became the rhythm
Under everything below

If the morning takes you
Let it take you slow
Leave a little echo
Where the blue lights glow

Bone cold gunshots and rain
Forecast brought me the pain
It won't bleed again

Alone (As we walk through)
The rain (It's forecast)
Whisper (I heard and called)
Your name (Until you came)
These moments (The moments that)
Keep playing (In my mind)
In my brain (Calendar 'til the day)
And as I fade

It'll never be the same again
I never felt this way
I never will again
It was love until it ends
As we cling to faith
(As we fade)

Bone cold gunshots and rain
Forecast brought me the pain
It won't bleed again

How do you hold on
To something that's already gone?
I won't leave you
But I can't stay here for long
A gentle whisper
A gentle touch
A gentle ache inside
At night

It'll never be the same again
I never felt this way
I never will again
It was love until it ends
As we cling to faith
(As we fade)
How many times can a heart be broke
And still fall in love again?
How long can a man hold on?
I'll hold on as long as I can

At seven the glass doors learn the street by name
sale tags turn slowly in the conditioned air
someone leaves a blue scarf folded out of place
and the mirror keeps pretending not to stare

A clerk counts coins like small weather
one by one into a paper tray
the fitting rooms exhale together
as the weekday loosens its display

Keep the low lamps on
let the room breathe out
there is music in the ordinary
when the hurry thins around
Soft returns quiet shelves
hands on fabric nothing else
after seven after seven
we move lightly through ourselves

Perfume cards sleep beside the counter
shoes line up like they know the floor
outside taxis change their colors
inside no one needs to want more

A coat on a hanger turns human
for a second in the corner light
I almost ask it where it's going
then I let it keep the night

Keep the low lamps on
let the room breathe out
there is music in the ordinary
when the hurry thins around
Soft returns quiet shelves
hands on fabric nothing else
after seven after seven
we move lightly through ourselves

Not every song should chase the ceiling
not every room should ask for rain
some evenings only need a rhythm
folded neatly with a name

Keep the low lamps on
let the room breathe out
there is music in the ordinary
when the hurry thins around
Soft returns quiet shelves
hands on fabric nothing else
after seven after seven
we move lightly through ourselves

The last receipt curls by the drawer
one small moon on the floor
after seven after seven
nothing asks to be more

shadows falling all around me
can’t see the stars through cloudy nights
been searching for a ray of sunshine
something to make everything alright

but i know i know i know
there’s a light that never fades
and i feel i feel i feel
better days are on their way

hope is glitter in the darkness (sparkle!)
shining when you least expect (oh yeah!)
like diamonds scattered through the universe (uni-verse!)
reminding me i’m not done yet (keep going!)

when i’m falling when i’m breaking (whoa!)
when i think i’ve lost my way (no way!)
hope is glitter in the darkness (shine on!)
guiding me to brighter days (ay-ay!)

sometimes i think i can’t continue
the weight is more than i can bear
then i remember all the reasons
to push through pain and still care

‘cause i know i know i know
there’s a strength inside that grows
and i feel i feel i feel
a fire that still glows

hope is glitter in the darkness (light it up!)
shining when you least expect (surprise!)
like diamonds scattered through the universe (stardust!)
reminding me i’m not done yet (never quit!)

when i’m falling when i’m breaking (hold on!)
when i think i’ve lost my way (find it!)
hope is glitter in the darkness (glimmer!)
guiding me to brighter days (so bright!)

even in my darkest hour
i can feel that power
sparkling shimmering
glittering delivering
the promise of tomorrow
breaking through my sorrow

when i’m falling when i’m breaking (rising!)
when i think i’ve lost my way (new path!)
hope is glitter in the darkness (twinkle!)
guiding me to brighter days (yes way!)

sparkle shine believe
glitter through the night
hope will always be
your guiding light

Cracked screen no calls today
Left the charger on the train
They said time would wash it out
But my clock’s been playing games

Can’t decode your morse-like moods
Every tone’s a sharp excuse
I lit fires you never saw
Guess it’s time to cut it loose

Let me breathe without your shadow (ah)
Every step I’m climbing higher (yeah)
Didn’t fold didn’t borrow
I’m the spark I’m the lighter
(wooh ay-ay let it burn)

Calendar full of crossed-out plans
Turned the silence into stance
No parade no grand goodbyes
But I danced inside the crash

Used to bend till I dissolved
Now I sculpt from where I broke
This new world don’t need your laws
I evolve and I revoke

Let me breathe without your shadow (mmm)
Every step I’m climbing higher (uh)
Didn’t fold didn’t borrow
I’m the spark I’m the lighter
(yeah-yeah wooh let it burn)

Ooh-ohh ohh
No more codes to crack
I’m off this map
