lyrics

There’s a melancholy that we’ve known
And that strangely somehow I can miss
When there’s no time for the feelings
And we’re just living to exist

Something about those moments
of us holding, and unfolding
When I had to hold you hard
They feel like an omen now
That this would always be my part

In the moments when the lights go down
Finally I’m just with you
And we both let go of the world around
In the moments when lights go down

My friend told me about a boat
That her and hers are sailing on
And no matter what they come across
They are never stepping off

You and me babe, and the waves and this family
We are out there too
Sometimes I forget it all
Until I’m in the dark with you

In the moments when the lights go down
Finally I’m just with you
And we both let go of the world around
In the moments when lights go down

When the long haul leaves us lonely
When the day to day divides
Puts a space between our bodies
And we put our heads down to survive

In the moments when the lights go down
Finally I’m just with you
And we both let go of the world around
In the moments when lights go down
