Acoustic
Hit the Lights Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know you can't stand my wandering hands,
But how can I apologize, comply with my demands?
They're written on these pages, it's written on our faces.
I know you don't want this, but know that I need this more than I did before.
It's easy to see that it's hard to ignore your subtle hints,
I'm catching wind how insincere are your are your finger prints.

refrain:
So make me promises, girl, the kind I know you can't keep
And while I'm losing my mind, I hope you're home finding sleep.
Cause you and I both know that that's not the case
Because the look on your face gives all your secrets away.

Can we talk this over, at least just for tonight?
I asked myself one hundred times why...
Did we even bother? Why did we even try?
But I miss you more than I did before,
I showed you my heart and you showed me the door.
Your subtle hints, I'm catching wind how insincere are your finger prints.

refrain

I've been waiting for a good time to decide whether I was wrong or right.
Are you getting sick of the ride?
Because I'm driving you out of your mind.
(2x)
Remember your mind, girl.

So make me promises, girl, the kind I know you can't keep
And while I'm losing my mind, I hope you're home finding sleep.




Cause you and I both know that that's not the case
Because the look on your face gives all your secrets away. (2x)
