There's a painting on the wall   That wasn't there at all   Ten minutes ago   There's a girl who walks the line   She's with you all the time   She won't let go      And I can't see me   With another girl   As everything slows down   Across the world      The lights are going out   One by one   Across the world   With faces turning down   The night will hide the sound   She comes to you      And I can't see me   With another girl   As everything slows down   Across the world      In a harbor safe from storm   She waits for darkened forms   She's seen you there   And time and time again   You hear her call your name   She calls for you      I can't see me   With another girl   As everything slows down   Across the world   As everything slows down   Across the world      The lights are going out   One by one   Across the world      The lights are going out   One by one   The lights are going out   One by one   Across the world
