When the Lights Were On

I cut my hair at five o'clock

Sat by the door like time was lost

Played our songs one by one

Hoping you would just come along

I never said a word

Just smiled and let it be

But every breath I took was whispering

Please see me when the lights were on

Did you ever feel it

The silent signs I gave the heart I couldn't conceal

I was waiting there under glowing neon

But you walked away when the lights were on

You told me stories laughed a while

You made me dream with every smile

But in your words I couldn't find

A phrase I hoped you'd say inside

I sang you every tune

My voice was trembling sweet

But all you heard was melody not the girl beneath

When the lights were on

Did you ever feel it

Gentle cries behind a song the love I concealed

I was standing close but you felt so bold

Still I stay when the lights were on

I never asked I played it cool

But inside I broke the rules

I just needed you to see

You were everything to me

When the lights were on

Did you ever feel it

The open door I left for you the hope that wouldn't heal

Now the light is out the dream is gone

But I still remember when the lights were on

When the lights were on

When the lights were on
