Lyrics
[Intro — Clean electric guitar, distant ambient notes] Oh-oh... The night is young, But I'm already home. [Verse 1 — Soft vocals, clean guitar] Shoes by the door, keys on the floor, Same four walls that I've known before. The city's alive, the windows glow, Everybody's got somewhere to go. I pour a drink, let the TV play, Hear a hundred voices fade away. There's nothing wrong, there's nothing new, Just me and all the things I didn't do. [Pre-Chorus — Bass enters, drums slowly build] And I don't mind the silence, I don't mind the dark. It's just a little strange sometimes How quiet leaves a mark. [Chorus — Full band, crunchy guitars, melodic vocals] There's a quiet in my room tonight, A thousand thoughts beneath a single light. I'm doing fine, or so it seems, Just living somewhere in between. I have my songs, I have my space, A thousand things to fill the days. But when the world turns out the lights, There's a quiet in my room tonight. [Post-Chorus — Electric guitar hook] Oh-oh-oh... It's only me tonight. Oh-oh-oh... And that's alright. [Verse 2 — Palm-muted guitar, steady drums] I used to think that I'd grow out Of all the things I think about. That one day life would fall in place, I'd find my people, find my place. But time keeps moving, plans get old, Some stories end before they're told. And all the things I thought I'd be Are somewhere waiting patiently. [Pre-Chorus — Guitars begin to open up] I don't need saving, I don't need a sign. I just wish that once in a while Someone would think of me in time. [Chorus — Full band, layered harmonies] There's a quiet in my room tonight, A thousand thoughts beneath a single light. I'm doing fine, or so it seems, Just living somewhere in between. I have my songs, I have my space, A thousand things to fill the days. But when the world turns out the lights, There's a quiet in my room tonight. [Instrumental Break — Melodic electric guitar solo] Warm overdrive, singing guitar melody, sustained bends, a memorable motif that echoes the chorus. Drums drive forward without becoming heavy. [Bridge — Drums drop out, clean guitar and intimate vocals] Maybe someday someone will stay Long enough to know me that way. Not the jokes, not the things I say, But the thoughts I always put away. And maybe they won't change a thing, Won't make the lonely disappear. They'll just sit beside me quietly, And make it easier to be here. [Build — Bass returns, toms rising, guitars swelling] Until that day, I'll be alright. I'll leave a little lamp alight. There's still a world outside my door, And maybe I can ask for more. [Final Chorus — Biggest, emotional but controlled] There's a quiet in my room tonight, But I can see the morning through the blinds. I'm doing fine, and maybe that's A little more than I thought I had. I have my songs, I have my space, I'm learning not to rush the days. And when the world turns out the lights, I'll let the quiet stay tonight. [Outro — Drums fade, clean electric guitar returns] Shoes by the door, keys on the floor, Tomorrow waits outside once more. Oh-oh... It's only me tonight. And that's alright. [Final guitar chord rings out]
