Your running around drilling shut to my ears

Play your games ill be dancing with my brain

And when the lights shut off that's when I owe you

Oh that's when I owe you

Great big apology
Offering a sincere and sizable apology, possibly for past actions.
Oh yeah

Cause your leaving your leaving me on like a light

Oh you know

You know that
Reaffirming the certainty of the preceding statements.
Outside its colder than here

You really think id go deaf for you my dear

So play your games ill be dancing with my brain

And when the lights shut off that's when I owe you
Repeating the idea of a reflective moment when the lights go off.
Oh that's when I owe you
