Lights Down Low
MAX Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Heaven only knows where you've been
But I don't really need to know
I know where you're gonna go
On my heart, where you're resting your head
And you just look so beautiful
It's like you were an angel

Can I stop the flow of time?
Can I swim in your divine?
'Cause I don't think I'd ever leave this place

Oh, turn the lights turn the lights down low
Yeah, now I'm feeling you breathing slow
'Cause, baby, we're just reckless kids
Trying to find an island in the flood
Oh, turn the lights, turn the lights down low, oh

Under heavy skies in the rain
You're dancing in your bare feet
Just like we're in a movie
Grab my hand and we're chasing the train
I catch you looking back at me
Running through a cloud of steam

Can I stop the flow of time?
Can I swim in your divine?
'Cause I don't think I'd ever leave this place

Oh, turn the lights turn the lights down low
Yeah, now I'm feeling you breathing slow, oh
'Cause, baby, we're just reckless kids
Trying to find an island in the flood
Oh, turn the lights, turn the lights down low

And I will give you everything baby
But can you feel this energy? Take it
You can have the best of me baby
And I will give you anything
Can you feel this energy? Take it
You can have the best of me baby

Oh, turn the lights turn the lights down low
Yeah, now I'm feeling you breathing slow
Oh, turn the lights turn the lights down low
Yeah, now I'm feeling you breathing slow
'Cause, baby, we're just reckless kids




Trying to find an island in the flood
Oh, turn the lights, turn the lights down low, oh

Heaven only knows where you've been
But I don't really need to know
I know where you're gonna go
On my heart where you're resting your head
And you just look so beautiful
It's like you were an angel
Can I stop the flow of time?
Oh can I swim in your divine?
'Cause I don't I think I'd ever leave this place
Oh, turn the lights, turn the lights down low
Yeah, now I'm feeling you breathing slow
'Cause baby, we're just reckless kids
Trying to find an island in the flood
Oh, turn the lights, turn the lights down low, oh
Moonlight, mood lights, moves like J-Lo
Tell me what you want from me, I'll do it if you say so
'Cause you're the only one for me, I'm never gonna say no
I found me an angel, I can see it in your halo
Have you ever dreamt what we could do?
Have you ever sent an "I love you"?
I've never felt the feelings that I feel for you
So maybe we could make a "we" of me and you
I'ma treat you right tonight, let's make it last forever
I promise you that no one else will ever treat you better
And if you don't believe me, please see I don't need no effort
All you gotta do is flip that switch before we bed-up
Oh, turn the lights, turn the lights down low
Yeah, now I'm feeling you breathing slow, oh
'Cause baby, we're just reckless kids
Trying to find an island in the flood, oh
Turn the lights, turn the lights down low (low, low, low)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
(Turn the lights down low)
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
(Low, low, low)
And I will give you everything, baby
But can you feel this energy? Take it
And you can have the best of me, baby
And I will give you anything
Can you feel this energy? Take it
And you can have the best of me, baby
Oh, turn the lights, turn the lights down low
Yeah, now I'm feeling you breathing slow
Oh, turn the lights, turn the lights down low
Yeah, now I'm feeling you breathing slow (low, low, low)
'Cause baby, we're just reckless kids
Trying to find an island in the flood
Oh, turn the lights, turn the lights down low, oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

@StockDoctortrade

There's something about the song "Lights Down Low"
That makes it so beautiful, don't you know
It's the way the lyrics touch your soul
The way the music makes you whole

It's the way the melody lifts you high
It's the way the chorus makes you fly
It's the way the words speak to your heart
The way the song and you never part

It's the way the music moves you deep
It's the way the song makes you weep
It's the way the sound fills your head
It's the way the song keeps you fed

So many reasons why this song is beautiful
It's hard to put it all into words, it's so dutiful
But one thing's for sure, this song will always be
A source of beauty, a source of glee
