When the Lights Burn Low

V5

When the Lights Burn Low Heaven don’t warn you when the room shifts slow When the air gets heavy and the lights burn low She don’t ask questions She don’t need names Just leans a little closer and the night rearranges I don’t chase trouble Trouble finds me fine Wears a quiet smile and a dangerous kind of time Strike a match, baby don’t rush the spark Some things burn better when you leave ’em dark So light me up just enough to feel I don’t need mercy I just need what’s real Turn down heaven turn up the heat I’m not on my knees but I’m off my feet She don’t promise heaven She don’t sell sin Just lets the fire decide who’s walking in I’ve played with shadows I’ve lost before But this ain’t a gamble It’s something more Hands stay steady Heart skips clean Every move measured like it’s already been seen Don’t cross the line Just stand close Let the wanting do the most So light me up just enough to know I don’t need the fall I need the pull No chains, no crown no saint, no thief Just two sparks and a fragile belief Fire knows its own when the night goes still Doesn’t beg Doesn’t break Just bends to will If you step closer I won’t move If you turn away I’ll still feel you So light me up not to burn me through Just enough to prove what fire can do Fire and me We understand Some flames don’t take They take command
