[Verse 1]
Tell me how to save my soul again
If I make a promise, can I still pretend
To wash it all away 'til the river is empty?
No one ever tells you how still life can be
[Chorus]
We're alone when the lights come on
We're alone when the lights come on
[Verse 2]
Try it again to see this through
Never can remember what I have to do
So I found some time to make this right
Trying not to dwell upon the lonely nights
[Chorus]
We're alone when the lights come on
Take me down to the river
We're alone when the lights come on
We're alone when the lights come on
Take me down to the river
We're alone when the lights come on
[Chorus]
We're alone
We're alone when the lights come on
Take me down to the river
We're alone when the lights come on
[Verse 3]
Tell me how to save my soul again
If I tell a lie, can I still pretend
To wash it all away 'til the river is empty?
No one ever tells you how real life can be
[Chorus]
We're alone when the lights come on
Take me down to the river
We're alone when the lights come on
We're alone when the lights come on
Take me down to the river
We're alone when the lights come on
