[Verse 1]
Well I thought I had it all in my sight
I swerved to the left, I thought I was right
I knew it was over from the very start
It came in the light and left in the dark
[Chorus 1]
Yeah, turn on the lights, just let it be
That chemistry, that chemistry
Not below the words I'll understand
Well I understand, I understand
[Verse 2]
You held your own in a nowhere town
You rose to the top and now you're looking down
The sentimental value of an absent friend
You showed up alone, and left just the same
[Chorus 2]
Yeah, turn on the lights, just let it be
That chemistry, that chemistry
Not below the words I'll understand
Well I understand, that you understand
[Verse 3]
Headlight, silhouette
HAM radio and cigarette
Moonlight, December
I remember, remember
All the same, I'm MIA
I turn to the wall, to see it again
And when I turned around, I thought I knew the way
I can't explain, it's a waiting game
[Chorus 3]
Yeah, I can't get no symmetry
From that chemistry, that chemistry
Not below the words I'll understand
Well I understand, I understand
[Chorus 4]
Turn on the lights, just let it be
That energy, that energy
Not below the words I'll understand
Well I understand, you'll understand, yeah
