The lyrics

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
