When The Lights Go Down

Bonnie & Clyde (Getaway)

Matt Simons, Drew Pearson - 2016 / From 'When The Lights Go Down'

Long nights

Years gone by

Highlights of you and I

We will ride

We’ll be bulletproof

One more time

Nothing left to lose

I take all the money and make for the door

So keep the car running and head for the shore

I hope they’re all ready

It’s time to get saved

So keep your hands steady

We’ll make our getaway

Drive fast

Make our move

Don’t look back

Your aim is true

Long white lines

Split the world in two

On our side

With nothing left to lose

I take all the money and make for the door

So keep the car running and head for the shore

I hope they’re all ready

It’s time to get saved

So keep your hands steady

We’ll make our getaway

I take all the money and make for the door

So keep the car running and head for the shore

I hope they’re all ready

It’s time to get saved

So keep your hands steady

We’ll make our getaway

Nobody said we were heroes

Nobody said that we were heroes

Nobody said we were heroes

Nobody said that we were heroes

Nobody said we were heroes

Nobody said that we were heroes

Nobody said we were heroes

Nobody said that we were heroes

I take all the money and make for the door

So keep the car running and head for the shore

I hope they’re all ready

It’s time to get saved

So keep your hands steady

We’ll make our getaway

I take all the money and make for the door

So keep the car running and head for the shore

I hope they’re all ready

It’s time to get saved

So keep your hands steady

We’ll make our getaway

Lose Control

Matt Simons, Steve Mac - 2016 / From 'When The Lights Go Down'

Escape with me
I’ll hold you tight
Let the sparks ignite the darkness while our hearts align

Run away with me leave it all behind
We’re estranged from limitation when we free our minds

Do you think we could lose control?
Get lifted when we lose it all We can be here in this crowd

Feel the music ringing out
With people ’round us singing loud
It’s just you and me right now
It’s just you and me right now
Do you think we could lose control?

(interlude)

Stay with me
Enjoy the ride
We can play here in this perfect take a look inside

Yeah lay with me
Our hearts alive
Find purpose and resurface from that pace we hide

Do you think we could lose control?
Get lifted when we lose it all
We can be here in this crowd
Feel the music ringing out
With people ’round us singing loud
It’s just you and me right now
It’s just you and me right now
Do you think we could lose control?

(interlude)

Escape with me
Do you think we could lose control?
Escape with me
Do you think we could lose control?
We can be here in this crowd
Feel the music ringing out
With people ’round us singing loud
It’s just you and me right now
It’s just you and me right now
Do you think we could lose control?

When The Lights Go Down

Matt Simons, James Newman, Tushar Apte - 2016 / From 'When The Lights Go Down'

When I wake in the night I’m reaching for you

There’s a place in my dreams where you’re still in the room

And you’re next to me somehow

There are times when I sleep on your side of the bed

Now since you’ve been away it’s as close as I get

Oh well, I should’ve learned by now

Morning light

Every now and then I start to feel alright

Days are going by, I know I’ll heal in time

Never thought I’d be scared of the dark

Now I only feel it when the lights go down

Feel it when the lights go down

Only get that feeling when the night rolls around

Feel it when the night rolls around

There are times I get drunk when I’m all by myself

Cause It helps me forget you’re with somebody else

Well, it don’t really work that well

And the other night I walked by your place

Hoping by chance that I might see your face

Oh now why did I think that would help

Morning light

Every now and then I start to feel alright

Days are going by, I know I’ll heal in time

Never thought I’d be scared of the dark

Now I only feel it when the lights go down

Feel it when the lights go down

Only get that feeling when the night rolls around

Feel it when the night rolls around

Oh I only feel it when the lights go down

Feel it when the lights go down

Only get that feeling when the night rolls around

Feel it when the night rolls around

I’ll pray for light

Four in the morning I don’t feel alright

Nights are growing long, I hope I heal in time

Never thought I’d be scared of the dark

Now I only feel it when the lights go down

I feel it when the lights go down

Only get that feeling when the night rolls around

Feel it when the night rolls around

Oh I only feel it when the lights go down

Feel it when the lights go down

Only get that feeling when the night rolls around

Feel it when the night rolls around

Oh I only feel it when the lights go down

Feel it when the lights go down

Only get that feeling when the night rolls around

Feel it when the night rolls around

When I wake in the night I’m reaching for you

Take Me Home

Matt Simons, Jimmy Robbins - 2016 / From 'When The Lights Go Down'

I can’t get to sleep
I stayed up till
6am all week
I’m a mess
I can’t stay on my feet
I’m a danger to my health

People everywhere
It still feels lonely
They don’t seem to care
Cause they don’t know me
Maybe that’s not fair
I don’t even know myself

I can’t tell what I’ve been trying to find
All I know’s I’m going out my mind

I’ve spent too many nights in the corner
Oh, I used to be warm now I’m colder
I need you and your head on my shoulder
Take me home

I thought I knew before
When things were different
I walked out the door
So independent
Now I’m not so sure
With the way I’m missing you

I don’t know what I’ve been trying to prove
Or which mountains I’ve been trying to move

I’ve spent too many nights in the corner
Oh I used to be warm now I’m colder
I need you and your head on my shoulder
Take me home

I’m confusing what I’m trying to say
I’ll tell you in person babe, I’m on my way

I’ve spent too many nights in the corner
Oh I used to be warm now I’m colder
I need you and your head on my shoulder
Take me home

I’ve seen so many places I’m tired
All I know is I’m so uninspired
I need you and your soul by the fire
Take me home

I need you and your soul by the fire
Take me home
Take me home

The Ones You Keep Close

Matt Simons, Rune Westberg - 2016 / From 'When The Lights Go Down'

Nobody knew me better

We went where nobody goes

Secrets that should have been guarded

Whenever we came to blows

You said words, words I won’t ever forget

I did things, things I will always regret

The brighter the light that a love shines

The darker the nights when it’s gone

The ones you keep close can hurt you the most

Nobody loved me better

You got the best in me out

We left our hearts wide open

The worst in me could not back down

I said words, words you won’t ever forget

You did things, things you will always regret

The deeper the trust that gets broken

The harder it is to repair

The ones you keep close can hurt you the most

(interlude)

We said words, words we won’t ever forget

We did things, things we will always regrets

The higher you let your love fly

Oh the harder you hit when it falls

The ones you keep close, they can hurt you the most

The ones you keep close can hurt you the most
