Lyrics

FINAL ROUND

[Verse 1]

Is this how it happens?

One hand on your mouth

But the other one plugging a cable

Then the other one pulling it out

Is this how it happens?

One foot on the pedal

With the other heel on the pavement

While the other one's kicking the whole world over

[Pre-Chorus]

I don't need an explanation

I just feel it changing

[Chorus]

Don't stop talking

I like the sound

Tell me this is

Not the final round

[Post-Chorus]

All the times we lie awake

Talk about the things we like

All the times wе lie awake

Talk about the things wе like

[Verse 2]

Is this how it happens?

One cup on the table

While the other one's tipping over

And you only wanna close your eyes

Is this how it happens?

One hand on my body

And the other one holding me under

'Cause you can't even remember how to feel me

[Pre-Chorus]

I don't need an explanation

I just ask for patience

[Chorus]

Don't stop talking

I like the sound

Maybe this is

Just our final round

[Post-Chorus]

Where the tears all pool (All the times we lie awake)

Talk about the things we like

Let it rain, rain down (All the times we lie awake)

Talk about the things we like

Open window (All the times we lie awake)

Talk about the things we like

In the solid ground (All the times we lie awake)

Talk about the things we like

[Bridge]

I play it back and now I'm wondering why

I couldn't see it in the moment, but I

I play it back and now I'm wondering why

I couldn't see it in the moment

[Outro]

Don't stop talking

I like the sound

Lights shares new single 'Alive Again' ahead of sixth studio album

The haunting new wave-inspired track comes ahead of new full-length 'A6'.

Lights: "Creativity is not formulated by genre; it's formulated by fucking mood swings"

One of music’s most ambitious artists, Lights has spun her ever-expanding world of music, comics and stories into her stripped-back full-length, ‘Skin&Earth Acoustic’.
