[Verse 1] You walk in Painted face, empty hands Every word Locked behind your glass Slow motion You pull ropes from the air Invisible walls But I still feel you there [Chorus] The lights are always on in my dreams of mine Frozen in a silent shout, stuck in time You never say a thing, but I read every line Yeah, the lights are always on in my dreams of mine [Verse 2] Street corner But the crowd never moves You climb stairs That no one else can use You fall slow Into arms that I can't see That small smile Like it's only meant for me (oh~) [Chorus] The lights are always on in my dreams of mine You trace a little heart in the midnight grime You never say a thing, but I read every line Yeah, the lights are always on in my dreams of mine [Bridge] Are you lonely In that quiet skin? If I break the spell Do we both begin? [Chorus] The lights are always on in my dreams of mine Every secret that you hide still looks like mine You never say a thing, but I read every line Yeah, the lights are always on in my dreams of mine The lights are always on, always on this time
