Lights Out
E-603 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drunken little rendezvous
Now you've captured my attention
And nobody else will do
Never really showed you want me
Never really made a move
Til you find me in the corner
Of a crowded room
Your hands on me
Got me right where you
Right where you want me
You played a part
Dancing in the dark
But I know
You only kiss me when the lights go out
You only touch me when no one's around
Pulling me closer just to push me back again
Trying to tell me that it's all inside my head
You only kiss me when the lights go out
You only touch me when no one's around
Driving me crazy every time you say my name
Killing me faster every time you walk away
You only kiss me when the lights go out
Creep in when I least expect it
Tryna sweep me off my feet
Whisper all of your sweet nothings
While we're dancing to the beat
Music got me feeling something
Euphoric to the melody
Now you found me in the corner
Of a crowded room
My eyes on you
Your hands on me
Had me right where you
Right where you want me
You played a part
Dancing in the dark
But I know
You only kiss me when the lights go out
You only touch me when no one's around
Pulling me closer just to push me back again
Trying to tell me that it's all inside my head
You only kiss me when the lights go out
You only touch me when no one's around
Driving me crazy every time you say my name
Killing me faster every time you walk away
You only kiss me when the lights go out
Whoa-Oh-Oh-Ooohhh
Whoa-Oh-Oh-Oh-Ooohhh
Whoa-Oh-Oh-Ooohhh
You only kiss me when the lights go out
Whoa-Oh-Oh-Ooohhh
Whoa-Oh-Oh-Oh-Ooohhh
Whoa-Oh-Oh-Ooohhh
You only kiss me when the lights go out
Touch me, Love Me
Just take me there
You play your games but
Be Prepared
Touch me, love me
If you dare
The night is young
So be prepared
You play your games
You take the chance
But this could be
Our final dance
I see right through
Your lies tonight
My body's yours
Don't waste my time
You act so cool
But I know what you're about
You only kiss me when the lights go out
You only touch me when no one's around
Pulling me closer just to push me back again
Trying to tell me that it's all inside my head
You only kiss me when the lights go out
You only touch me when no one's around
Driving me crazy every time you say my name
Killing me faster every time you walk away
You only kiss me when the lights go out

Line by Line Meaning
Started with a bad decision
I made a mistake when I first started interacting with you
Drunken little rendezvous
Our first meeting was fueled by alcohol
Now you've captured my attention
I am attracted to you and can't look away
And nobody else will do
I am exclusively interested in you
Never really showed you want me
I haven't expressed my interest in you
Never really made a move
I haven't taken any action to pursue you
Til you find me in the corner
We eventually ended up in the same area
Of a crowded room
In a space full of people
My eyes on you
I am focused on you
Your hands on me
You are physically touching me
Got me right where you
I am exactly where you want me
Right where you want me
I am surrendering to your desires
You played a part
You are putting on an act
Dancing in the dark
We are dancing in a dimly lit area
But I know
I am aware of the truth
You only kiss me when the lights go out
Your affection is only shown in secret
You only touch me when no one's around
You only express physical attraction when there are no witnesses
Pulling me closer just to push me back again
You are toying with my emotions
Trying to tell me that it's all inside my head
You deny your actions and blame my feelings on imagination
Creep in when I least expect it
You appear unexpectedly
Tryna sweep me off my feet
You attempt to impress me and make me fall for you
Whisper all of your sweet nothings
You say things to make me feel special, but they have no real meaning or follow-through
While we're dancing to the beat
We are moving to the rhythm of the music
Music got me feeling something
The music is contributing to my emotional state
Euphoric to the melody
The music is making me feel intense pleasure
Had me right where you
You had control over me
Touch me, Love Me
I want physical affection from you
Just take me there
I want to be physically intimate with you
You play your games but
You manipulate and deceive me
Be Prepared
I am bracing myself for your actions
If you dare
I am challenging you to take a risk with me
The night is young
The time for us to be together is not over
You take the chance
You are willing to risk our interactions
But this could be
Our interactions could be coming to an end
Our final dance
This could be the last time we interact
I see right through
I know the truth about your actions
Your lies tonight
You are being dishonest in our interaction
My body's yours
I am willing to be physically intimate with you
Don't waste my time
I want to be with someone who is authentic and not playing games
You act so cool
You pretend to not care, but you do
But I know what you're about
I am aware of your intentions
Driving me crazy every time you say my name
Even the sound of your voice affects me emotionally
Killing me faster every time you walk away
Your absence causes me emotional pain
