"When The Lights Go Out" lyrics

"When The Lights Go Out"

Who are you when the lights go out?
You got me wondering
How'd you go from a face in the crowd
To all I'm thinking about?
Sitting here on the ninth cloud
Floating around
Just a thought 'til I said it out loud
Who are you when the lights go out?

In a dream we were Polaroid lovers
In the deep where the edges don't lie
You and me fading into each other
And it makes me wonder

What if it was New Years Eve?
Black tie and evening gown
Would you tug at the hem of my sleeve?
Kiss me while we're countin' down
Who are you when the lights go out?
You got me wondering
How'd you go from a face in the crowd
To where we are now?

In a dream we are Polaroid lovers
In the deep where the edges don't lie
You and me fading into each other
And it makes me wonder

In a dream we are Polaroid lovers
In the deep where the edges don't lie
You and me fading into each other
Fading into each other
In a dream we were Magnavox lovers
You and me somewhere all alone
On a screen in an ocean of color
And it makes me wonder
It makes me wonder

Who are you when the lights go out?
Who are you when the lights go out?
Who are you when the lights go out?
Who are you when the lights go out?
Baby
