[Chorus]
It don't make much sense right now
But it'll all come together when the lights go out
It don't make much sense right now
But it'll all come together when the lights go out

[Verse 1]
A short walk to the corner store
To spend the small change in my hand
A young man tore his body apart
Right in front of my house on the train tracks
The suits turned their heads to the smell of death
For broken bones, or a spot of blood
And police lights, flash like Christmas nights
In celebration that it wasn't me, this time

[Pre-Chorus]
Waking up in the same old skin
It ain't easy to believe
We were born for something bigger than this

[Chorus]
It don't make much sense right now
But it'll all come together when the lights go out
It don't make much sense right now
But it'll all come together when the lights go out
[Verse 2]
I imagine a pale square of paint in the hallway
Where your portrait used to hang
Your family couldn't stand the heartache
So they took your picture down and left your room the same
I ain't ever left a scar like that
But that's all we have when people think of us when we're dead
We all find ourselves at the train tracks
The good die young and the old die bitter singing

[Chorus]
It don't make much sense right now
But it'll all come together when the lights go out
It don't make much sense right now
But it'll all come together when the lights go out

It don't make much sense right now
But it'll all come together when the lights go out
It don't make much sense right now
But it'll all come together when the lights go out

[Bridge]
And my life flashed before my eyes
And I didn't care how we left it
I'm still flying through my twenties
Waiting for someone to say I made it
Golden boy, tiny pay check
Big ideas and broken heartstrings
Waking up in the same old skin
It ain't easy to believe
We were born for something bigger than this
[Outro]
It don't make much sense right now
But it'll all come together when the lights go out
It don't make much sense right now
But it'll all come together when the lights go out
(Something bigger than this)

It don't make much sense right now
But it'll all come together when the lights go out
It don't make much sense right now
But it'll all come together when the lights go out
(Something bigger than this)
