What you don't know can't hurt you
|
What you can't see can't get in the way
|
You turn out the light, things get clearer
|
I know there'll be a night
|
when you can't find the switch
|
I'm half awake, I can't come to
|
My hands start to shake
|
As you're shaking me down
|
|
And then you give yourself away with your kiss
|
Up until now it was something that I missed
|
I get the picture, but I just can't resist
|
And you imagine someone else
|
|
[CHORUS]
|
When the lights go down
|
When the lights go down
|
When the lights go down
|
When the lights go down
|
When the lights go down
|
|
What's on your mind isn't in your arms
|
What's in your hands isn't really mine
|
I'm not really here
|
They're not my lips you kissed
|
I'm just a slave or a catalyst
|
Something's out of sync
|
Don't tell me
|
I'm just a link that gets pulled from the chain
|
|
And every time I get you on your own
|
I still feel as though I'm all alone
|
It's just as well I'm not made out of stone
|
As you imagine someone else
|
|
[Repeat Chorus]
|
|
And then you give yourself away with your kiss
|
Up until now I thought it was something that I missed
|
I get the picture, but I just can't resist
|
And you're seeing someone else
|
|
[Repeat Chorus]
|
|
When the lights go down
|
When the lights go down
|
When the lights go down
|
|
What you don't know can't hurt you...
