Intro
The lights are on
The city shines
I have everything
But none of it feels mine
Verse 1
There's a view from every window
People pay to see this high
There are names inside my contacts
I could call at any time
There's a table made for twelve here
There's a bottle I don't touch
There are pictures from a good life
That somehow never felt like much
I can buy another morning
I can fill another day
But every hour feels like waiting
For a feeling that won't stay
Pre-Chorus
Everybody says I made it
Everybody thinks they know
But a room with a thousand words
Sounds like a distant echo
Chorus
I've got everything
Except someone
Every door is open
But nobody comes
Every light in this place
Still leaves me in the dark
I can have the whole world
And still have nowhere for my heart
There's a thousand voices
But none of them get close
I've got everything
And somehow nothing shows
Post-Chorus
Everything
Except someone
Verse 2
My phone keeps filling up with numbers
Little red lights asking me to look
Everyone has something that they need
Nobody asks how much it took
I can walk into a crowded room
And everybody knows my name
Then come home to hear the silence
Like it's waiting there again
There are clothes I haven't worn yet
Rooms I barely ever see
Funny how a house gets bigger
When there's no one there with me
Pre-Chorus
Everybody says I made it
Like that means I should be whole
But a room with a thousand words
Sounds like a distant echo
Chorus
I've got everything
Except someone
Every door is open
But nobody comes
Every light in this place
Still leaves me in the dark
I can have the whole world
And still have nowhere for my heart
There's a thousand voices
But none of them get close
I've got everything
And somehow nothing shows
Bridge
Take the view
Take the keys
Take the things they envy me
Take the noise
Take the name
Take the photograph inside the frame
Give me one person
Who knows when I'm not okay
Who doesn't need a thing from me
And still decides to stay
Final Chorus
I've got everything
Except someone
A whole world around me
And nowhere to run
Every room in this place
Feels bigger after dark
I can have the whole world
And still have nowhere for my heart
There's a thousand voices
Calling out my name
But when the night gets quiet
They all sound the same
I've got everything
Everything they said I should want
Everything...
Except someone
Outro
The lights are on
The city shines
Everythingexcept someone.
