Out Go The Lights
Lonestar Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Baby all around us now
Headlights on the cars and bright neon signs
They illuminate this town
Then I see your face, look in your eyes
And before I realize
[Chorus]
Rush goes the blood, sending your love to every part
Baby when you look at me, the only thing I can see
Is the two of us making love, alone in the dark of the night
Out, out, out, out go the lights
The world is turning around, but the night is still young
And girl I want to take it slow
And let a candle burn down, 'till our bodies are one
Breathless in the afterglow
The way you look, the way this feels
I just can't wait until
Out go the lights, beat goes the heart
Rush goes the blood, sending your love to every part
Baby when you look at me, the only thing I can see
Is the two of us making love, alone in the dark of the night
Out, out, out, out go the lights
The way you look, the way this feels
I just can't wait until
[Chorus]

The chorus of the song is a reflection of this sentiment, with the singer describing the physical and emotional sensations that they feel when they're with their partner.

See the moon and the stars, how they sparkle and shine
The beauty of the night sky is all around us
Baby all around us now
We are surrounded by a beautiful atmosphere
Headlights on the cars and bright neon signs
The busy city is an electric and lit up place
They illuminate this town
The bright lights bring this city to life
Then I see your face, look in your eyes
But your beauty overshadows all the city lights
And before I realize
I am lost in your beauty and can't believe my luck
[Chorus]
Now I am filled with passion and desire
The world is turning around, but the night is still young
Time may move on, but this moment with you is timeless
And girl I want to take it slow
I want to enjoy every moment of this with you
And let a candle burn down, 'till our bodies are one
We'll take our time and let the passion between us grow
Breathless in the afterglow
We'll be left feeling happy and fulfilled
The way you look, the way this feels
You are incredibly beautiful and this moment is perfect
I just can't wait until
I can't wait for what's about to happen
[Chorus]
And when we're together, the world fades away and it's just us
Out, out, out, out go the lights
And in the darkness, our love shines the brightest
