Verse
I was walking
I don't know why but I was
slowly shaking
dirt off the palms of my hands
how in the world this began
fire was burning the sand
Chorus
why do the lights go out
nobody knows
you took the interstate
ill take the road
a past full of lies
in a blue eyed disguise
and until the right words are said
come back before you're not dead
come back before you're not dead

verse
hesitating
waiting for man to sell out
over money
greed against love for a ring
does the clot in your heart mean a thing
cant we just set ourselves free
chorus
why do the lights go out
nobody know
you took the interstate
ill take the road
a past full of lies
in a blue eyed disguise
and until the right words are said
come back before you're not dead
come back before you're not dead
