Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When it’s dark
Feel the top of my fingers
Fondle your birthmarks
Cover your ears when I bark
Turn around when I look away
Leave the lights out
When it’s dark
Fondle your birthmarks
Cover your ears when I bark
Turn around when I look away
Leave the lights out
When it’s dark
Feel the top of my fingers
Fondle your birthmarks
Cover your ears when I bark
Turn around when I look away
Leave the Lights out
Leave the lights
(When it's dark)
Leave the Lights out
Leave the lights
Leave the Lights out
Leave the lights
Oh I
Want to fall apart
Leave the lights out
When it’s dark
Feel the top of my fingers
Fondle your birthmarks
Cover your ears when I bark
Turn around when I look away
