Verse 1 I signed my name in a room without a door Traded my shadow for a younger man’s war They gave me a smile and a house by the sea But the mirror still remembered me Pre-Chorus New skin, old sorrow New sun, same rain I ran from tomorrow And woke with my name Chorus Who am I now when the lights go low? A second face with the same old ghost I changed my hands, I changed my eyes But not the ache I keep inside Verse 2 She danced on the shoreline like nothing was real Asked me what freedom was supposed to feel I laughed like a stranger, I drank like a king But my heart heard the telephone ring Bridge Some lives are cages Some cages are gold Some men grow younger But never less old Final Chorus Who am I now when the lights go low? A second face with the same old ghost I changed my hands, I changed my eyes But not the ache I keep inside Outro At dawn I walked where the black waves bend Looking for the man I was before the end
