[Verse 1]
I want a life to remember
All of the moments, wanna hold them in the palm of my hand
I'm holding them tighter than ever so that they don't slip like sand
And oh to my heart you're a habit, something like beating, like breathing in oxygen
Yeah but the mind can be tragic
And time makes you forget

[Chorus]
Oh say you'll love me when the lights go out
When I'm standing in the darkest corner of the darkness fading out
Cause' oh I'll love you, love you when the lights go out
When memories in the water are ripples moving farther don't you doubt
I'll love you when the lights go out

[verse 2]
I'm writing it down on the paper
Making a record, like an archive of me and you
So when we're reading it later it'll all come back brand new
If life is but a dream, I'm scared of waking up and losing everything
Or falling out of love
If I forget myself, I know you know me well, enough to bring me back

[Chorus]
Oh say you'll love me when the lights go out
When I'm standing in the darkest corner of the darkness fading out
Cause' oh I'll love you, love you when the lights go out
When memories in the water are ripples moving farther don't you doubt
I'll love you when the lights go out
[Interlude]
(Will you love me when oh, will you love me when oh
Will you love me when oh, when the lights go out)
(Will you love me when oh, will you love me when oh
Will you love me when oh, when the lights go out)

[Chorus]
Oh love me when the lights go out
When I'm standing in the darkest corner of the darkness fading out
Oh yeah I'll love you when the lights go out
When memories in the water are ripples moving farther don't you doubt
(Don't you go doubt it for a minute)
I'll love you when the lights go out
