Lyrics Shut Off The Lights - Bastille

Shut Off The Lights

I, I'm lost in my head again
Time travelling, running a-, running away
With darkness my only friend
Don't wanna do this all again
You pull me back down to earth
Clothes off, your hands are on, hands are on me
Graceland-ing onto your bed
There you are
In my head, there's a beat
It's the beat that you make
When you're moving your body
You prove that I can't escape, I can't escape
Got my heart in your hands
And your hands on my chest
In my chest there's a breath
It's the breath that you take away
And you said
"Shut off the lights, we don't need them to dance"
Hey
Oh, you said just
"Shut off the lights, we don't need them to dance"
Oh oh, you said just
"Shut off the lights, shut off the lights"
We're drunk, we're invincible
No going quietly into the night
This room is our universe
You are my gravity tonight
No talk of the future now
Dark thoughts, you're shaking 'em, taking 'em out
This rhythm that we create sets me straight
In my head, there's a beat
It's the beat that you make
When you're moving your body
You prove that I can't escape, I can't escape
Got my heart in your hands
And your hands on my chest
In my chest there's a breath
It's the breath that you take away
And you said
"Shut off the lights, we don't need them to dance"
Hey
Oh, you said just
"Shut off the lights, we don't need them to dance"
Oh, oh you said just
"Shut off the lights, shut off the lights"
Last night you said
Empty your head
Be here with me
"Shut off the lights, we don't need them to dance"
Tune out the noise
For a moment
You said let's just
"Shut off the lights, we don't need them to dance"
Hmm hmm hmm hmm
Oh, you said just
"Shut off the lights, we don't need them to dance"
Hmm hmm hmm hmm
(Oh, no we don't, no we don't, no we don't, no we don't, no we don't)
Oh, you said just
"Shut off the lights"
"Shut off the lights, we don't need them to dance"
(Last night you said
Empty your head
Be here with me)
"Shut off the lights, we don't need them to dance"
(Tune out the noise
For a moment
You said let's just)
"Shut off the lights, we don't need them to dance"
