The Lights Are Off
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Boy and girl meet at the scene.
Fall in love for a year or so,
Then she calls it off with him.
Now he's on his knees
And he's trying to believe in the girl.
The girl that he fell for, the girl that he fell for..
So stand back,
The lights are off in this house.
Press your fingers against your lips,
Don't let the truth come out,
Don't let the truth come out.
So take all of these dreams,
The ones that kept you close to me.
She's feeling alone
And she picks up the phone,
Cause this is her last chance.
"why are you so in love with bitter-sweet romance?"
Now she's on her knees and begging him please
"can't we just make things right?
Can't we just make this right?"
So stand back,
The lights are off in this house.
The lights are off
Press your fingers against your lips,
Don't let the truth come out.
This story is almost over.
Is she still dreaming?
Is he still believing?
So stand back,
The lights are off in this house.
The lights are off
Press your fingers against your lips,
Don't let the truth come out.
So stand back,
The lights are off in this house.
The lights are off!
