when the lights go out
I see your face
when the lights go out
I'm forced to face

what I've lost
nowhere to hide
the memories come back
they trap me inside

when the lights come on
I can pretend
when the lights come on
I'm start to bend

but when the lights go out
that's when I lose track
and remember everything
boy, please come back.
