  • 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, and 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? Writer/s: Arthur Lafrentz Bacon, Billy Joel, Freddy Wexler, Wayne Hector
