 And pride sticks out its tongue
Laughs at the portrait that we've become Stuck in a frame, unable to change I was wrong "After a decades-long hiatus, Billy Joel released his first pop single, "Turn The Lights Back On" on Febuary 1, 2024. The poignant piano-based song harkens back to Billy's singer-songwriter days, but the lyrics are from an older and weary perspective, yet still cautiously hopeful.

Please open the door Nothing is different, we've been here before Pacing these halls Trying to talk over the silence And pride sticks out its tongue Laughs at the portrait that we've become Stuck in a frame, unable to change I was wrong I'm late but I'm here right now Though I used to be romantic I forgot somehow Time can make you blind But I see you now As we're laying in the darkness Did I wait too long To turn the lights back on? Here, stuck on a hill Outsiders inside the home that we built The cold settles in It's been a long winter of indifference Maybe you love me, maybe you don't Maybe you'll learn to, and maybe you won't You've had enough, but I won't give up On you I'm late, but I'm here right now And I'm tryin' to find the magic That we lost somehow Maybe I was blind But I see you now As we're laying in the darkness Did I wait too long To turn the lights back on? I'm late, but I'm here right now Is there still time for forgiveness? Won't you tell me how? I can't read your mind But I see you now As we're layin' in the darkness Did I wait too long To turn the lights back on? I'm here right now Yes, I'm here right now Looking for forgiveness I can see as we're laying in the darkness Yeah, as we're laying in the darkness Did I wait too long To turn the lights back on?
