The Lights Are Back On Lyrics

We made love for an album
Everything went quiet at once
So good to be lying
Happy and sane in your arms

I don't care what they do
'Cause being here with you
Is news to me
Tell everybody
The lights are back on

We made civic art
Under a streetlight
Something for the drivers tonight
Monday's my Sunday
I don't have a thing to do
But try and get up
While it's still light

I don't care what they do
'Cause being here with you
It's news to me
Tell everybody
The lights are back on

It's news to me
Tell everybody
The lights are back on

Dearheart,
How I've been everywhere
Dearheart,
How I've been everywhere
Everywhere
Everywhere
Everywhere
Everywhere

And I don't care what they do
'Cause being here with you
It's news to me
Tell everybody now
The lights are back on

It's news to me
Tell everybody
The lights are back on

It's news
Tell everybody
The lights are back on
The lights are back on

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
