Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I find shelter in this way

Undercover, hideaway

And can you hear when I say

I have never felt this way?

[Verse 2]

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 3]

Oh

Oh

Oh

Ooh

[Verse 4]

Can 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 5]

And I'll cross oceans like never before

So you can feel the way I feel it too

And I'll send images back at you

So you can see the way I feel it too

[Verse 6]

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 7]

Oh

Oh

Oh

Ooh

[Verse 8]

Oh

Oh

Oh

Ooh
