lyrics

I live alone
I dance with the lights on
Love with the lights on
But I'm slowly forgetting
What darkness only knows
What darkness only knows
Only knows
Only knows
What darkness only knows

It's time to set fire to the woods
Cause I'm being eaten by the city
There’s something in the stars
That darkness only knows
Oh- only knows
I look up at the lights
Thinking they're so pretty
You- you can almost forget
It's just empty offices
But this is not another song condemning
Nine to five
Cause the lord only knows
We all gotta stay alive
In empty offices

Where we sleep with the lights on
Dance with the lights on
Love with the lights on
But we're slowly forgetting
What darkness only knows
What darkness only knows
Only knows
Only knows
What darkness only knows

It's time to get myself from bed
I'm being stalled by time
She’s such a masochist
That's why she’s lying wasted in my sheets
There’s something ‘bout her face
That makes me feel strong
She’s got so many hands to hold me
But she never stops moving them long

The darkness only knows
I don't know
I don't know
