I know that Beyonce herself has stated that XO is a positive love song, about living in the moment...
But for some reason since the first listen, I thought this was a sad song about a famous couple in the spotlight that do not love each other in private.
The woman feels sad because she is still in love with this man, yet he only shows her love/affection when in the 'light' or spotlight.
To me, the lyrics: "Before they turn the lights out, Before time is runout, Baby love me lights out"
is the woman expressing her hopelessness for the man she loves to show her love even when the lights are out. When no one is watching, when it is just the two of them.
Will he still love me when "they turn the lights out"? In the darkest night? Because "daylights wasting", "you better kiss me" "before they turn the lights out"
