lyrics

Lights Out

Verse 1

You’re lethal with your tongue
You’re everybody’s fantasy
The air inside your lungs
It’s just another gift to me

You say you talk to God
DM’s you when his wife’s asleep
No need for a facade
To deny you would be blasphemy

Chorus 1

You brighten up the greyest days
Never gonna turn the lights out
Don’t you ever turn the lights out, woah
You make me do these things that I could never do
Never gonna turn the lights out
Don't you ever turn the lights out, woah

Verse 2

I reached for a mirage
In the desert I was so thirsty
Fought through a barrage
Took my hand when I was underneath

You’re with me when I’m gone
Like a shock of electricity
You keep me hanging on
I’m a convert and now I believe

Bridge

She's up,
She's up, up and away
On highest is where she plays
She loves
And she's loved like she's art
Up on highest
The brightest star

Chorus 2

You brighten up the greyest days
Never gonna turn the lights out
Don’t you ever turn the lights out, woah
You make me do these things that I could never do
Don't you ever turn the lights out
Don't you ever turn the lights out, woah

I wanna grow with you - I know you love me too
I’m sorry that I couldn’t meet you
I guess I got a lot of work to do
You make me do these things that I could never do
Never gonna turn the lights out
Don't you ever turn the lights out, woah

(x4)
Never gonna turn the lights out
Don't you ever turn the lights out, woah
