[Verse 1] Well I thought I had it all In my sight
I swerved to the left, I thought I was right
I knew that it was over from the very start
It came in the light and left In the dark, yeah

[Chorus] Turn on the lights, just let it be
That chemistry, that chemistry
Not below the words I'll understand
Well I understand, I understand

[Verse 2] You held your own in a nowhere town
You rose to the top and now you're looking down
The sentimental value of an absent friend
You showed up alone, and left just the same, yeah

[Chorus] Turn on the lights, just let it be
That chemistry, that chemistry
Not below the words I'll understand
Well I understand, I understand

[Bridge] Headlight, silhouette, HAM radio and cigarettes
Moonlight, December, I—– remember, remember

[Verse 3] All the same, Im MIA
I turn to the wall, to see it again
And when I turned around, I thought I knew the way
I can't explain, it's a waitIng game, yeah

[Chorus] I can't get no symmetry
From that chemistry, that chemistry
Not below the words I'll understand
Well I understand, I understand
Turn on the lights, just let it be
That energy, that energy
Not below the words I'll understand
Well I understand, you'll understand, yeah
