Lights Out

Lights out
We waited for the sound of footsteps on a loosened tile every night
We were only children then, barely grown-ups now
They were only children all their lives

Blue sky
Reflections of the light
And when it rains it's only spit from above
On the hunt for the little lies of time
Others will play other games all their lives

Lights out
And I can't sleep at night
Tell me stories of the deaf and the blind
We were only children then, barely grown-ups now
They were only children all their lives

I hoped I'd leave
Not watch you grieve
And maybe someday you will know
Maybe someday when I'm old
I, too, can see
