Lights Out
The Friday Night Boys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We'll turn this car right back around,
She is no where to be found,
Crazy girls just walk right in around
Woah Oh, Woah Oh

I played her game for long enough
To see how crazy she would become
Cant make up her mind on where to run
Woah Oh Oh Oh

Just say you don't know
But you know I don't care
Falling for a rockstar will get you nowhere
Woah Oh
Since I might forget you
I'm sleeping on the floor,
On the floor to the bed room now
So you better turn the lights out

The second change you figure out
Every word that she'd never tell
She doesn't stand a chance she screams out loud
Woah Oh Oh Ohh
So break down
Did you think that I could tell
Letting go of every word to make this right

Just say you don't know
But you know I don't care
Falling for a rockstar will get you nowhere
Woah Oh
Since I might forget you
I'm sleeping on the floor,
On the floor to the bedroom now
So you better turn the lights out

Just say you don't know
But you know I don't care
Falling for a rockstar will get you no where
Woah Oh
Since I might forget you
I'm sleeping on the floor
On the floor to the bedroom now
So you better turn the lights out
(So break down
Did you think that I could tell
Letting go of every word to make this right)
Word to make this right
Oh Oh




So you better turn the lights out
So you better turn the lights out

Overall Meaning

The Friday Night Boys' song Lights Out is about a tumultuous relationship with a girl who is indecisive and unpredictable. The singer sings about how he has played her game for too long and can no longer keep up with her craziness. He knows that falling for a rockstar like her will get him nowhere but still can't seem to let go. The lyrics "Just say you don't know, but you know I don't care" show that he is aware of her intentions and is tired of playing along. He decides to sleep on the floor rather than in the bed with her, as a symbol of his detachment from the relationship. The repeated "turn the lights out" at the end of the song suggests that he wants to leave the relationship behind and move on.


Line by Line Meaning

We'll turn this car right back around
We will go back to where we started


She is no where to be found
The girl is missing


Crazy girls just walk right in around
Insane girls come and go easily


I played her game for long enough
I entertained her for a considerable time


To see how crazy she would become
To understand how mentally unstable she can get


Cant make up her mind on where to run
She cannot decide where to go


Just say you don't know
Admit ignorance


But you know I don't care
Stating that you do not care about the response


Falling for a rockstar will get you nowhere
Loving a rockstar will lead to disappointment


Since I might forget you
As I might forget about you


I'm sleeping on the floor
I am choosing to sleep on the floor


On the floor to the bed room now
Heading to the bedroom but sleeping on the floor


So you better turn the lights out
Switch off the lights


The second change you figure out
Change you cannot comprehend easily


Every word that she'd never tell
Things that she will not disclose


She doesn't stand a chance she screams out loud
She will not survive and will scream in agony


So break down
To have an emotional breakdown


Did you think that I could tell
Belief that the person knows what is happening


Letting go of every word to make this right
Forgetting everything to fix the situation


Word to make this right
A statement that will fix the situation


So you better turn the lights out
Switch off the lights
