Derek Webb & Sandra McCracken When The Lights Go Out lyrics

I see her in that dress right before I knew her name
She's slowly walking to me right before our lives would change
Maybe I've gone crazy, maybe I'm still in love
Each night I change what happened, I change how it was
I change how it was, I change

When the lights go out you can hear the sound
Of your heartbeat slow and the memories glow
When the lights go out

That summer is my lifeline, it's the only thing that's real
I'm frozen in this subway, just a cog in the wheel
If life is for the living and love is for the strong
I don't know how I got here, but I know where he belongs
I know where he belongs, I know

When the lights go out you can hear the sound
Of your heartbeat slow and the memories glow
When the lights go


In the middle of this circus you're the thing that gets me through
So I dive beneath the surface and close my eyes and see you

When the lights go out you can hear the sound
Of your heartbeat slow and the memories glow
When the lights go out

You can hear the sound of your heartbeat slow
And the memories glow when the lights go out
Of your heartbeat slow and the memories glow
When the lights go out

You can hear the sound of your heartbeat slow
And the memories glow when the lights go out
You can hear the sound of your heartbeat slow
