When The Credits Roll

I'm sitting in my dark, popcorn in hand

Watching my world on a silver strand

Scenes flicker fast, too quick to catch

A kiss goodbye, a heart mismatch

There's a reel of laughter, a frame of tears

Moments I've lived, but they feel like years

I whisper to myself, this can't be mine

But it's my voice getting lost in the lines

Caught between the edits of what was and what's next

Trying to follow a plot, but it's too fucking complex

When the credits roll and the lights come on

Will I still be here or will I be gone

This wandering heart's been through it all

Love, loss, silence, rise and fall

And maybe I'll return to who I was before

Or maybe I'll be someone more

When the credits roll

Familiar faces fading out of frame

New one's walking in, but it's not quite the same

A love scene bloomed when I least expected

Afraid to trust, heart overprotected

And family in flashbacks, miles away

I'd love to call, but there's too much to say

In my mind, a script I don't always write

But I act the part just to get through the night

Caught between the edits of what was and what's next

Trying to follow the plot, but it's too fucking complex

When the credits roll and the lights come on

Will I still be here or will I be gone

This wandering heart's been through it all

Love, loss, silence, rise and fall

And maybe I'll return to who I was before

Or maybe I'll be someone more

When the credits roll

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Caught between the edits of what was and what's next

Trying to follow the plot, but it's too fucking complex

When the credits roll and the lights come on

Will I still be here or will I be gone

This wandering heart's been through it all

Love, loss, silence, rise and fall

And maybe I'll return to who I was before

Or maybe I'll be someone more

When the credits roll
