lyrics

When you learnt to dance,
you made a move on maybe, baby.
You wind me up and and leave to chance
the thought that we were victims - victims of circumstance.

You went from the stranger to endangered at the wheel -
and I'm stuck like a back seat driver
in a fast car with my fingers burnt,
watching the lights - deep into the night.

Tell me what you want and something that you freed,
you know you won't forget it.

You come out of the shadows and shine until morning - then go
for days and nights - It'll be alright, I'll be watching the lights.

You just bring me your fire
and I must pour on water.
Not volcano and waterfall - we never said we had it all,
'cos we fight it... but I won't give up on you.

I need to hold you closer, I want some time to kill,
gonna keep you up all night until the sunrise burns our eyes.
Watching the lights... deep into the night, watching the lights.

Tell me what you want and something that you freed,
you know you won't forget it.

You come out of the shadows and shine until morning - then go
for days and nights - It'll be alright, I'll be watching the lights.
