Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I find shelter in this way
Under cover, hide away
Can you hear when I say?
I have never felt this way
[Chorus]
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on?
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on?
[Verse 2]
Could I be, was I there?
It felt so crystal in the air
I still want to drown whenever you leave
Please teach me gently how to breathe
[Verse 3]
And I'll cross oceans like never before
So you can feel the way I feel it too
And I'll mirror images back at you
So you can see the way I feel it too
[Chorus]
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on?
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on?
[Chorus]
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on?
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on?
[Outro]
Maybe I had said something that was wrong
Can I make it better with the lights turned on?
