We Kept the Lights On Anyway

release: Dreaming in Daylight track: 12 date: 04-09-2026

lyrics

The only reason I got here is cuz you know what you want
Wouldn't have to think for myself, I'd follow every single taunt
And you knew what I was looking for, but you kept changing the font

You wanted me, I wanted you
Never mind that, always never you
You wanna look your best, I wanna feel the same
But it's not right and to say it out loud would sink the ship

So we kept the lights on (ooh)
We kept the lights on, baby
We kept the lights on (ooh)
We kept the lights on, till the bill came

I for one get it (He's so damn fine)
You’re heartbreak dressed as a smile
Any face that close to mine makes the denial feel worthwhile

It's not all so black and white
No, you don't love me, still don't hate you
I wanna look my best, you wanna feel the same
But it's not right and to say it out loud would sink the ship

So we kept the lights on (ooh)
We kept the lights on, baby
We kept the lights on (ooh)
We kept the lights on, till the bill came

There’s a truth pacing my bloodstream, looking for a softer mouth
If I'm busy reading your body, I don’t have to read myself out loud
There’s a scream stuck in my throat
Dressed up as a joke, passed off as grace
If I’m loud enough with my body, you won’t notice what I’m not saying
Your hand on my throat, not enough to hurt, just enough to make me stay
I let routine do the talking, I let desire get in the way, yeah

We kept the lights on, baby
We kept the lights on
