Lyrics
We're in the dark it's getting late
We are in a situation of uncertainty or secrecy, and time is passing.
I really should go, he's waiting for me
There's an obligation or expectation to leave because someone is waiting.
We both know, it's not what it seems
Both parties are aware that the situation is not straightforward.
We both know what's between the sheets
There's an acknowledgment of a physical or intimate connection between the individuals.
I know that it's a secret
The speaker is aware of a hidden truth.
And that i've got to keep it
There's a sense of responsibility to keep the secret.
But I want the lights on
Despite the secrecy, the speaker desires visibility or openness.
Yeah, I want the lights on
The speaker explicitly expresses the desire for lights to be on.
And I don't want to run nowhere anymore
A declaration of not wanting to escape or avoid the situation anymore.
Leave the lights on, Leave the lights on, Leave the lights on
A repetition of the desire for lights to be left on.
We're in the dark it's getting late
Reiteration of the setting and urgency.
I really should go, he's waiting for me
Reiteration of the need to leave due to someone waiting.
We both know, it's not what it seems
Confirmation that appearances are deceiving in the situation.
We both know what's between the sheets
Reiteration of the acknowledged physical or intimate connection.
I know that it's a secret
Repetition of the awareness of a hidden truth.
And that i've got to keep it
Reiteration of the responsibility to keep the secret.
But I want the lights on
Reiteration of the desire for visibility despite the secret.
Yeah, I want the lights on
Repetition of the explicit desire for lights to be on.
And I don't want to run nowhere anymore
Reiteration of the declaration to stay and not escape.
Leave the lights on, Leave the lights on, Leave the lights on
Final repetition of the desire for lights to be left on.
I know that it's a secret
Reiteration of the awareness of a hidden truth.
And that i've got to keep it
Reiteration of the responsibility to keep the secret.
But I want the lights on
Repetition of the desire for visibility despite the secret.
Yeah, I want the lights on
Repetition of the explicit desire for lights to be on.
And I don't want to run nowhere anymore
Reiteration of the declaration to stay and not escape.
Leave the lights on, Leave the lights on, Leave the lights on
Final repetition of the desire for lights to be left on.
We're in the dark it's getting late
Reiteration of the setting and urgency.
I really should go, he's waiting for me
Reiteration of the need to leave due to someone waiting.
I know that it's a secret
Repetition of the awareness of a hidden truth.
And that i've got to keep it
Reiteration of the responsibility to keep the secret.
But I want the lights on
Repetition of the desire for visibility despite the secret.
Yeah, I want the lights on
Repetition of the explicit desire for lights to be on.
And I don't want to run nowhere anymore
Reiteration of the declaration to stay and not escape.
Leave the lights on, Leave the lights on, Leave the lights on
Final repetition of the desire for lights to be left on.
