Lyrics
Watch The Lights Go Out
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.
Leave well enough alone,
Fill an empty room
With empty glasses.
The chances I've had I have blown
But there's something left.
Hiding deep inside
What i've always wanted.
How helpless I am I have shown
That I don't know what to do.
I wanted you.
So in other words
You're exactly what I've been looking for.
You were right,
When you told me I was wrong.
I guess it doesn't matter now.
Now desperate
All the comfort I have here is cold.
I feel like a mess and it shows
That I'm tired of wasting
What's been deep inside
But I've kept you waiting.
How helpless I am I have shown
That I don't know what to do
About wanting you.
So in other words,
You're exactly what I've been looking for.
It's all right.
Until all we have is gone,
Make every second count.
Stay and watch the lights go out.
One by one
Until all we have left
Is our own little world
So in other words,
You're exactly what I've been looking for.
It's all right.
Until all we have is gone,
Make every second count.
Stay and watch the lights go out.
