the lyric is 'when our lights meet, will you know me then?'
Eclipses have to do with light passing over an object and blocking it from view, thus the title of the song.
"When our hearts meet, will you even notice that they are Eclipsed?"
It's not that 'lips' makes more sense, it simply appeals to the senses in a more obvious way.
Besides, the vocalist know that 'lights' and 'lips' sound alike, he's playing with words that both fit in that particular phrase. Look at the lyrics to some of his other songs, like the chorus of "My Damsel" and the bridge portion of "Over" and you'll see what I mean.
