about

Who is that singing with Cobey during the choruses? His daughter, Mia, who is also featured in the upcoming video for the song.

lyrics

When it feels like you’re on fire but it’s only your
Eyes filled with desire
Wanting so bad for it all to be true
Now you’re running not looking so safe so sound
Throwing all cares at the world all around
Then falling and feeling like you own it all
soak in the sun and the leaves as they fall
Wanting so bad for it all to be true

When the lights go down no one will make a sound
It’s my final bow Calling for curtains now
Hear the applauding swell see them stand and yell
Wanting so bad for this to never end

When you play your saddest songs
But all they want are fun singalongs
Handing my heart to an empty room
Watching it fall flat down with a boom
Wanting so bad just to break a smile
Faking my way through act one with a laugh
Act two fills the room with a slap on the back
Act three brings it all to a hearty applause
But hiding backstage was my heart through it all
Wanting so bad just to break a smile

When the lights go down no one will make a sound
It’s my final bow. Calling for curtains now
Hear the applauding swell see them stand and yell
Wanting so bad for this to never end

Just look at me now this is my final bow
With smiles and hand-blown kiss no one could foresee this

This is the way it ends
This is the way it ends
This is the way it ends

Their lush sound of strings and Carranza’s Eno-esque atmosphere give Rouse’s emotionally charged lyrics a fitting place to come to hit home. ... more
