I Wish The Lights Stayed Out

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━I Wish The Lights Stayed Out━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ There was a version of the night where nothing changed. No morning, No goodbye, No lights coming back on. I Wish The Lights Stayed Out. Written and Produced by DJ X / classyissue ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ The TV's talking to itself You're scrolling with the sound turned down Your coffee's cold beside your hand Mine's still sitting where I left it I almost ask you something real Then hear myself choose something safer Do you still need the charger You shake your head and look back down I don’t know when we got this quiet When you okay became enough There’s a whole conversation waiting And neither one of us will start Everything in here still works The TV, clock, the kitchen light We’re sitting close enough to touch And still don’t know what to say tonight You look at me, then look away I do the same because it’s easier Everything in here still works Everything except us The screen goes black without a warning The kitchen hum just disappears You laugh once somewhere in the dark Then say my name like checking I’m still here I say, I’m here. You say, I know. And for once neither of us looks away Funny how the words come easier When I can’t see your face You say, I thought you’d stopped trying I say, I thought you needed space Then you tell me you were waiting I say, I was waiting too Nothing in here works tonight No TV, clock, no kitchen light But you’re sitting close enough to touch And I finally know what I should say You talk to me, I don’t look away For once there’s nowhere else to go Nothing in here works tonight But somehow we do You say, I thought you didn’t want me I say, I thought the same about you Then your hand finds mine between us Like it still remembers what to do You whisper, I don’t know what this means I tell you, It doesn’t have to mean Then the fridge kicks in behind us The TV fills the room with blue Your hand slips slowly out of mine And neither of us knows what to do Everything in here works again The TV, clock, the kitchen light You’re still sitting close enough to touch But neither one of us even tries I wish the lights stayed out Just long enough to finish what we started Everything in here works again Everything except us Lights stayed out Finish what we started Everything except us The room keeps humming after that Like it never heard a thing I turn the television off But leave the kitchen light on For a second I almost miss The sound of nothing working ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
