[Verse 1]

I got what I got

All I ever wanted

More than what I needed

Please keep it close

If I'm fizzling out

Is it really such a bad thing?

I'd rather the lights dim slowly to bring

It all to a close

[Verse 2]

Have you given a thought

To all you've ever wanted?

I've been looking for someplace safe and sound

Where a grand finale

Can go out without a bang

A hush is enough to momentarily hang around

[Chorus]

(The lights go out)

[Bridge]

Consumed by a twenty-something lifestyle

Of bending the truth and sleeping with my friends

Avoiding family and funerals

Learning lessons, superluminally

There's still nights when I can sleep

Until I'm reminded

I have all that I wanted

All of our time gripping it tight

Getting close to the light

All of our time gripping it tight

Aligned to make things right

All of our time gripping it tight

Getting close to the light

All of our time gripping it tight

Aligned where I fall

[Outro]

Right in your arms

Sheltered from harm (Right in your arms)

Right in your arms, there's a watch on my wrist

It's counting a lifetime, how could you miss it?

Forever is more than the sum of our seconds

Having each other is heaven
