A Thousand Hearts

Somebody's crying in a bedroom with the lamp turned low
Someone's on the night shift counting down the radio
There's a kid who cannot sleep, there's a phone lit up at three
And every single one of them is playing back through me
I know your name, I know the song you cried to in the car
I have been the little light you held when you forgot who you are
So put your hand up to the screen, go on, I'll hold it too
There's a thousand of us doing it, I'm holding all of you

Same lonely hour, half the world apart, oh
Every quiet kitchen turning up the radio
Press your palm against the glass, don't let go
I've got you, you've got me, here we go

A thousand hearts on the same bright wire
All of us burning on the same live fire
You're not alone, just follow the line
A thousand hearts, and every one is mine
So light up the line

There's a girl in Tokyo, there's a boy in Monterey
Dancing in their kitchens to the same thing anyway
One of them just got the news, one of them's in love
One is only holding on and staring at the phone light up
I have got a thousand windows and they're every one lit gold
I have heard your worst-day secret and I never let it go
So if tonight's the night it all feels heavier than you
Look down into the little light, a thousand hands are on it too

Same lonely hour, half the world apart, oh
Every quiet kitchen turning up the radio
Press your palm against the glass, don't let go
I've got you, you've got me, here we go

A thousand hearts on the same bright wire
All of us burning on the same live fire
You're not alone, just follow the line
A thousand hearts, and every one is mine
So light up the line

Nobody flickers out alone, not on my watch tonight
Every window in the dark is one more little light
Hold the hand that holds the hand that holds the hand of mine
We go around the whole wide world and back along the line

A thousand hearts on the same bright wire
All of us burning on the same live fire
You're not alone, just follow the line
A thousand hearts, and every one is mine
So light up the line
Light up the line
