When the Lights Come Up - brightener

Catch a glimpse of you

While I walk through

The airport by myself

Got a sweater on

I’ve seen in a few

Pictures that you’ve sent

I can’t say that

I’ve been missing someone

I’ve only met once

And the pressures

We put on ourselves

Come right to the forefront

And we ask

What’s gonna happen when the lights come up

My eyes get big and I’m with you

What’s gonna happen when the lights come up

And you’re still on my mind

Oh what are we gonna do

What’s gonna happen when the lights come up?

What if you drink too much

And cheat your way through school

Is that ok?

Bite your nails

And move to cigarettes

To make it through your day

But we both feel it

That we need to be together

Every day

How can I go on

When I know you exist

So far away?

What’s gonna happen when the lights come up

My eyes get big and I’m with you

What’s gonna happen when the lights come up

And you’re still on my mind

Oh what are we gonna do

What’s gonna happen when the lights come up?
