[Verse 1] I keep little things that I shouldn’t keep Like unfinished words and a borrowed dream You were always leaving two minutes fast Like the present tense was built to be the past I was always trying to make it mean More than a moment, more than in-between [Chorus] Call me when the bright lights shine When the traffic sounds like music and your heart is out of line I won’t ask for promises, I won’t ask you why I just want one honest moment passing by Call me when the bright lights shine Maybe love is not forever, maybe that’s okay Some things still glow after they fade away Call me when the bright lights shine [Verse 2] I learned how to laugh at the wrong right time And turn sad little truths into cleaner lines Now my friends all say I look more alive But they never saw the years I learned to hide There are nights I dance with the window open wide Like I’m letting every almost out of sight And there are nights your memory walks right through With the same soft steps I once knew [Pre-Chorus] I’m not broken, I’m just rearranged By the quiet art of how people change And somewhere in that tender blue I found a softer way to lose [Bridge] We were never a simple story Not a tragedy, not pure glory Just a match struck in the dark Just two names and a little spark If you see me, let it pass Don’t turn it into glass I can carry what we were Without asking it to cure [Final Chorus] Call me when the bright lights shine When the traffic sounds like music and your heart is out of line I won’t ask for promises, I won’t ask you why I just want one honest moment passing by Call me when it rains and the world feels paper-thin When the lonely little echoes start to let the evening in Maybe love is not forever, maybe that’s okay Some things still glow after they fade away Call me when the bright lights shine Call me when the bright lights shine
