The dust settles on the old box
I pull the string and let it spin
The room starts spinning with the box
And suddenly I'm back again
[chorus]
Wait for the light
The years are moving in reverse
Hold on tight
Wait for the light
[verse]
We’re sitting on the porch at ten
The summer grass is tall and dry
I didn't know the ending then
Or why the birds would start to fly
[chorus]
Wait for the light
The years are moving in reverse
Hold on tight
Wait for the light
[verse]
The colors bleed together now
A blur of blue and green and gray
I want to stop it but I don't know how
To keep the sun from slipping away
[chorus]
Wait for the light
The years are moving in reverse
Hold on tight
Wait for the light
[outro]
