Power Cut (lyrics)
There’s a hum over London
And the light’s too bright to see outside
It’s hard not to be lonely
When you’re in the middle of it all
There’s a flickering streetlight
And my heart is thinking “I’m so blue
That one day I’m gonna follow you
‘Cause my light is artificial too”
Well I can’t complain
It just gets hard to keep the windows clean
So I stand there in the rain
And just breathe
‘Cause in the power cut
The stars speak up
They start to shine so bright
If you could only see
This new side of me
We’d illuminate the night
Is it right to wish
It was always like this?
And so I’m glad that you’re happy
But a part of me is aching for you
And the time that we spent
Just playing games and breaking hearts
And now all I hear is echoes
Shattering me inside out
Twisting, turning me about
And filling me with doubts
Well you were mine
But you left town and left me down and out
I feel just fine
Except when I breathe
But in the power cut
The stars speak up
They start to shine so bright
Baby I wish you could see
This new side of me
We’d illuminate the night
Is it wrong to wish
That we could be like this?
Rules are made to be broken
But you had to break that rule
Words are made to be spoken
But somehow they got stuck
And I couldn’t get them up
I wish we could begin again
‘Cause in the power cut
The stars speak up
They start to shine so bright
If you could only see
This new side of me
We’d illuminate the night
Is it right to wish
It was always like this?
Is it wrong to wish
That we could be like this?
