lyrics

We were still learning to drive,

& learning how to use our hands & our mouths at the same time

when the stereo’s sound 

crept in the back and wrapped its way around
our nervous bodies.

& suddenly we knew the words for hope & hurt,

& found comfort in the chorus as you
took off my shirt



Leave the lights on.

I want you to see: everything is new. 



Our sweat hung like a cloud. 

We were out of breath but somehow
we were screaming at the same time.

Possessed by the sound we wrapped our fingers tight & shared the rhythm with our bodies.

The bass and drums grew,
and all the weight & hurt 
that held us down peeled off our backs
as we left the earth



Leave the lights on. 
I want you to see: everything is new. 



"All these said, every word again…"
"
The sky will never look the same…
"
"You can have the best of me
"
"while I’m sleeping in your living room,
but we don’t have much room
"
"So let’s kill monsters in the rain,

oh we are the same,

what a mess we’ll make,

what a mess we’ll make!"



Leave the lights on. 
I want you to see: everything is new.
