When the Lights Go Quiet Songtext
von Elyn

We left our shadows by the doorway
Shoes still wet from summer rain
You were tracing little circles
On the glass beside your name
There was music from the neighbors
There was blue light in the hall
But between us, something fragile
Was the loudest thing of all

And I knew before you said it
Some goodbyes arrive too slow
Like a room that keeps on glowing
After everyone has gone


When the lights go quiet
When the night lets go
Will you still remember
How we held each other close?
When the streets stop shining
And the last train′s gone
Will you hear me in the silence
When the lights go quiet?

I kept waiting for a reason
Something simple, something clear
But love rarely leaves in pieces
You can hold or disappear
Now your jacket's on the railing
And your coffee′s getting cold
Every ordinary detail
Feels impossible to hold

And I knew before you touched me
We were standing at the end
Still pretending we had somewhere
We could begin again


When the lights go quiet
When the night lets go
Will you still remember
How we held each other close?
When the streets stop shining
And the last train's gone
Will you hear me in the silence
When the lights go quiet?

Maybe somewhere past the morning
We become who we should be
You with all your open highways
Me with all that's left of me
But if love is only borrowed
If it never could be ours
Why does every empty window
Still look brighter from afar?

When the lights go quiet
When the night lets go
I will still remember
How you held me like a home
When the streets stop shining
And the whole world moves on
I will hear you in the silence
When the lights go quiet

When the lights go quiet
I′ll still leave one glowing
