I was in a hurry when the lights went dim
The sound like water being in walls and front door jams
We carried all we loved to the upper floor
I left one on empty waiting for your voice

I'm certain that it's true
You know I'd hate to think that my lover never made it through
You could smell the silence all around for 20 miles
Locked up in our attic all those christmas lights
We all wonder why no one came at all
It was awful dark but i saw what i saw

I'm certain thats its true
I wish you were with me when we broke out through our roof

I was in a hurry when the lights went dim
I was in a hurry when the lights went dim
Who was in a hurry when the lights went dim
Who was in a hurry when the lights went dim
