House Lights

[Verse 1] Morning on the windshield Coffee in a paper cup Same old nerves but something in me Doesn't want to hide this time Jacket on keys in my hand City waking up outside I used to wait for someone else Now I'm walking out alive [Pre-Chorus] Hands still shake Heart still runs But I'm done waiting in the wings For life to start without me [Chorus] House lights Coming up on me again House lights On the nerve and the good beneath my skin House lights No more waiting for the dark to let me in I'm still nervous Still breathing And I came here to be seen [Verse 2] Old weather in my bloodstream Still flashes through me now and then But the room is full of color And I'm not backing out again You call my name across the doorway I turn before I even think Used to live half out the window Now I want all of it [Pre-Chorus] Pulse kicks up Mouth goes dry But I'm done making myself small Just to make the moment easy [Chorus] House lights Coming up on me again House lights On the nerve and the good beneath my skin House lights No more waiting for the dark to let me in I'm still nervous Still breathing And I came here to be seen
