Lights Out
Room 94 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Take me to the other side,
Tell me what it feels like,
I got lost in the atmosphere,
Come a little closer, whisper in my ear,
Flashback to the other night,
You blew up like dynamite,
Tiger blood running through my veins,
Come a little closer, I forgot your name
(Come a little closer, I forgot your name)
(Come a little closer, I forgot your name)
I know what you′re like when the lights go out
You come alive when the lights go
Out
You got me
Out
You got me
I know what you're like when the lights go out
You come alive when the lights go
Out
You got me
Out
You got me
Sparks fly like fireworks,
Missed calls I never heard,
I saw you in a crowded room,
Come a little closer ′cos I like the view,
I'll take what I can get,
I can tell that you're into it,
Red dress hiding all your red dress sins,
Come a little closer,
What a mess we′re in
I know what you′re like when the lights go out
You come alive when the lights go
Out
You got me
Out
You got me
I know what you're like when the lights go out
You come alive when the lights go
Out
You got me
Out
You got me
Your ghost keeps haunting me,
I′ll wait and smile anxiously,
Stop pretending I'm your everything,
Stop pretending I′m your everything.
I know what you're like when the lights go out
You come alive when the lights go
Out
You got me
Out
You got me
I know what you′re like when the lights go out
You come alive when the lights go
Out
You got me




Out
You got me
