A lonely life to remember
All of the moments
wanna hold them in the palm of my hand
I'm holding them tighter
than ever so that they don't slip like sand
And oh to my heart you're a habit
Something like beating, like breathing in oxygen
Even the mind can be tragic
And time makes you forget

Oh, say you'll love me when the lights go out
When I'm standing
in the darkest corner of the darkness fading out
'Cause oh, I'll love you, love you when the lights go out
When memories in the water
are ripples moving farther, don't you doubt
I'll love you when the lights go out

I'm writing it down on the paper
Making a record, like an archive of me and you
So when we're reading it later, it'll all come back brand new
If life is but a dream, I'm scared
of waking up and losing everything
Or falling out of love
If I forget myself, I know you know me
well enough to bring me back

Oh, say you'll love me when the lights go out
When I'm standing in the darkest corner
of the darkness fading out
'Cause oh, I'll love you, love you when the lights go out
When memories in the water
are ripples moving farther, don't you doubt
I'll love you when the lights go out

Oh, love me when the lights go out
When I'm standing in the darkest corner of the darkness fading out
Oh, I'll love you when the lights go out
When memories in the water are ripples moving farther, don't you doubt
I'll love you when the lights go out
