They set the stage and she's entered
from stage right to the center of attention
She's mentioned a thing or two
about stealing the show
He catches her eyes knowing
he'd be the guy with whom
she'd make a mistake and
not worry about whose heart it breaks
Before she knows it she's back in a place
she knows all too well
Without thinking of her boyfriend
she thinks to herself
"Lights turned low. Ready? Go!"
They won't hear
just lay here
In this bed you'll stay
"Lights turned low. Ready? Go!"
So clever
they'll never
find out what you
just gave away
In a bed not too distant
there's a boy who's been missing
events at a party transpiring
He'd rather not see
And then it hits him
That feeling that something's missing
but that puzzle piece
found somewhere else to fit in
Before he knows it he's back in a place
he knows all too well
With an empty space besides him
he thinks to himself
"Lights turned low. Ready? Go!"
They won't hear
just lay here
In this bed you'll stay
"Lights turned low. Ready? Go!"
So clever
they'll never
find out what you
just gave away
And though it's dark tonight
there's still a glimmer in his eye
Sparks and takes him away
while she runs through his head
She turned out the lights
only thinking of the fights
Found her way to cut the ties
while letting someone else inside
"Lights turned low. Ready? Go!"
They won't hear
just lay here
In this bed you'll stay
"Lights turned low. Ready? Go!"
So clever
they'll never
find out what you
just gave away
