Lights Go Out

The lights go out

And we're alone

And I don't know you at all

Oh, it's just nature

It comes in waves

Some human need that I wish to resolve

I guess I just got tired of waiting

I just got tired of saying

That nothing's ever happened to me

I needed reassurance

I wanted to feel pretty

I wanted to feel strong

We walked to my door

And Richmond's quiet

You tell me 'bout your family, your friends, your home life

And I think too far ahead

And I keep you from my friends

And hold my breath when I get home

Maybe I just got tired of waiting

Maybe I knew before it started

That you couldn't be right for me

I needed reassurance

I wanted to feel pretty

I wanted to feel strong

Strong enough to fake love

Feeling for the sake of feeling anything at all

Strong enough to take the pieces that you gave

To feel anything but small

Cause I'm so sick of pining

Of falling the wrong way

Of missing the final step

I needed reassurance

I wanted to be tempting

I wanted you to long for me

To be wrong for me

To be something in between
