No Lights (Music Video) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBcikmiU5e0 [Intro] There’s chicken tikka on your jeans, and I think you did it on purpose. Ceiling’s spelling something — but I can’t read bad cursive. --- [Hook] You said, “Don’t text after midnight — I might answer.” You smelled like someone else’s Sunday, or something I wasn’t meant to name. --- [Chorus 1] You said, “If we ever do this again — no lights.” So I sit in the bath with crisps and I switch off the sky. --- [Verse 1] We sat on the floor, legs like tangled cables. You laughed through your sleeve like the punchline hit back. You made tea in a cracked-up mug, Called me brave for not calling it love. Then licked the sugar off your thumb — like it knew too much. --- [Chorus 2] Don’t re-dress the scene. The towel’s still damp. Don’t un-boil the kettle. Don’t iron the air. If I had tape, I’d wrap it ‘round this hour — loop it tight round your ankle and swear. --- [Verse 2] You left a note in the dry shampoo — said you hate rooms that smell like you. I wore your robe out to buy bin bags — forgot the bags, remembered the you. --- [Chorus 3] You said, “If we ever do this again — no lights.” So I sit in the bath with crisps and I switch off the lights. --- [Break / Drop] They looked at me like I’d dropped a piano and blamed the wind. --- [Chorus 4 – final] Don’t rub the mirror. The print’s still there — your face like a dream that won’t log out. Don’t silence the hob. Let the burner click. If I had matches, I’d strike that hour — watch it smoke, watch it stick. --- [Outro] Is it weird to miss the coat hooks? The condensation bets? The hair in the plughole I pretended wasn’t yours? You said, “If we ever do this again — no lights.” So I sit in the bath with crisps and I switch off the lights.
