don't turn the lights on

there must be another way

when she's gone to a better place

and loneliness will hurt you if you can't get through the night

then the moment starts to fade

and dawn is just an hour away

i feel she's watching over and it gets me through the night

it makes me wonder what you'd say

it's taking me back to the month of may

when i watched you do it

i'm thinking back to what we'd shared

in many ways i'm already there

and i watched you do it

don't turn the lights on

'cause tonight i want to see you in the dark

don't turn the lights on

'cause tonight i want to see you in the dark

don't turn the lights on

'cause tonight i want to see you in the dark

don't turn the lights on

'cause tonight i want to see you in the dark

another walk to take

another lonesome evening spent without you there

and only those who hurt you

will say patience is a virtue

and it's been so long

and i can't think about it

no

i can't figure it out

it's just the way you're feeling

every time that you're appealing

leaves no room for doubt

it makes me wonder what you'd say

it's taking me back to the month of may

when i watched you do it

i'm thinking back to what we'd shared

in many ways i'm already there

and i watched you do it

don't turn the lights on

'cause tonight i want to see you in the dark

don't turn the lights on

'cause tonight i want to see you in the dark

don't turn the lights on

'cause tonight i want to see you in the dark

don't turn the lights on

'cause tonight i want to see you in the dark
