The Lights Lyrics by Wouter Hamel

Pompadour

2014

[Verse 1]
You'd been waiting such a long, long time for me
Or the version you'd have me be
I'd been trying, I'd been trying to get a little bit of love
You remind me of a younger, better me
But I sense a catastrophe
I'd been trying, we're all trying to get a little bit of love

[Chorus]
When the lights started flashing
And the room started shaking
Oh, when all you know comes tumbling down again
When the lights started flashing
And the room started shaking
Oh, when all you know comes tumbling down again

[Verse 2]
I've been hiding, I've been hiding in plain sight
Got somewhere to be tonight
I've been hiding, I've been hiding from the bright lights
I remind you of a lighter, brighter you
I'm stuck in a winning mood
I've been trying, I've been trying to get a little bit of love

[Chorus]
When the lights started flashing
And the room started shaking
Oh, when all you know comes tumbling down again
When the lights started flashing
And the room started shaking
Oh, when all you know comes tumbling down again

[Bridge]
Do you remember that summer?
The rain wouldn't end
We couldn't imagine
Us ever being friends again

[Chorus]
Oh, when all you know comes tumbling down again
When the lights started flashing
And the room started shaking
Oh, when all you know comes tumbling down again
When the lights started flashing
And the room started shaking
Oh, when all you know comes tumbling down again
When the lights started flashing
And the room started shaking
Oh, when all you know comes tumbling down again
