Lights Down Low

MAX featuring gnash

Heaven only knows where you’ve been

But I don’t really need to know

I know where you’re gonna go

On my heart, where you’re resting your head

And you just look so beautiful

It’s like you were an angel

Can I stop the flow of time?

Can I swim in your divine?

Cause I don’t think I’d ever leave this place

Oh, turn the lights turn the lights down low

Yeah, now I’m feeling you breathing slow, oh

’Cause, baby, we’re just reckless kids

Trying to find an island in the flood

Oh, turn the lights, turn the lights down low, oh

Under heavy skies in the rain

You’re dancing in your bare feet

Just like we’re in a movie

Grab my hand and we’re chasing the train

Catch you looking back at me

Running through a cloud of steam

...

And I will give you everything baby

But can you feel this energy? Take it

You can have the best of me baby

And I will give you anything

Can you feel this energy? Take it

You can have the best of me baby

Oh, turn the lights turn the lights down low

Yeah, now I’m feeling you breathing slow, oh

Oh, turn the lights turn the lights down low

Yeah, now I’m feeling you breathing slow, oh

’Cause, baby, we’re just reckless kids

Trying to find an island in the flood

Oh, turn the lights, turn the lights down low, oh
