Phoenix 1986 Lyrics by SNST

Turn Out The Lights

2017

[Verse 1]
This is where we live
This is what we dream of
This is who we are
This is where we’re going
This is where we’ve been
And this is how we’re actin’ out
This is what we do
And this is how we measure up

[Chorus]
(Don’t let them)
Say you can’t move on or you’re sick of trying
(Don’t let them)
Say you’re nearly there but you never finish
(Don’t let them)
Say you’re through with it but you never started
(Don’t let them)
Say you tried and gave up in 1986

[Verse 2]
This is how we pick it up
And never let it go
When you think we’ve had enough
We come and ask for more
This is where we left it
‘Cause that’s just how we are
Never thought we’d ever leave
And we never will, no we never will

[Chorus]
(Don’t let them)
Say you can’t move on or you’re sick of trying
(Don’t let them)
Say you’re nearly there but you never finish
(Don’t let them)
Say you’re through with it but you never started
(Don’t let them)
Say you tried and gave up in 1986

[Bridge]
Video games
A small arcade
Cold war static
Prep for the best times

[Outro]
(Don’t let them)
Say you can’t move on or you’re sick of trying
(Don’t let them)
Say you’re nearly there but you never finish
(Don’t let them)
Say you’re through with it but you never started
(Don’t let them)
Say you tried and gave up in 1986
