When The Lights Go Out Colter Vane, Owen James, Domus Made

There's a silence after midnight
Most people never hear
After the engines stop running
And the noise disappears

I spent years chasing something
I couldn't even name
One more mile, one more payday
One more shot at being great

Always looking toward tomorrow
Like it owed me something new
Funny how life keeps happening
While you're trying to push through

Now the road behind me
Looks different than it did

When the lights go out
And the crowd goes home
What will they remember
When you're long gone

Not the money you made
Not the race you ran

It's the people who still smile
When they say your name

When the lights go out

Lights go out
Say your name

I remember my old man laughing
On a porch in summer rain
I remember friends long gone now
Still calling out my name

All the things i thought were small
Turned out to matter most
A hand upon your shoulder
Right when you needed hope

Some memories get quieter
Some never leave at all

When the lights go out
And the crowd goes home
What will they remember
When you're long gone

Not the money you made
Not the race you ran

It's the people who still smile
When they say your name

When the lights go out

I spent half my life looking ahead
Trying to outrun the years

Never saw the best parts of living
Had been right here all these years

All these years

When the lights go out
And the crowd goes home
When the road keeps rolling
Long after you're gone

You won't live forever
Nobody does

But a part of you survives
In the lives you touched

When the lights go out
And the crowd goes home

Lives you touched
Crowd goes home

The highway keeps moving
The years keep passing by

But tonight

I think i finally understand
