Lights Out
Ph-1 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When I saw you, I knew
That you and I would need to get acquainted and
You felt the same but then
You switched lanes on me, and everything changed
Now ya driving me, crazy
Can't even call you my, baby
And I take it seriously when I give any part of me, you see
I just wanted your love, but where did we go so wrong?
I know you wanna work it out
So show me you care, and I'll be right there
Boy let me be clear, I will disappear so my heart doesn't tear
When I saw you, I knew
That you and I would need to get acquainted and
You felt the same but then
You switched lanes on me, and everything changed
Now ya driving me, crazy
Can't even call you my, baby




And I take it seriously, when I give any part of me
I hope that I don't have to leave, yeah...
