〈Verse 1〉
I wrapped all the parts of me
In thick brown paper, taped it at the seams
They are yours if you want them
They are yours either way
You're the color in my irises
You are the warmth in my veins

〈Chorus〉
What do we have when the lights are out?
Here beneath the sound
When we’re alone with the weight we can't lay down
(Can’t lay down)
Besides a love and a distant dream
When hope is hard to keep
And you are counting out the things you still believe
I hope you count on me

〈Verse 2〉
There is truth in the smallest things
A cup of coffee, a hushed winter morning
There are moments of silence
There is light breaking through
In the way that the world can breathe
And let you know it’s okay to
〈Chorus〉
What do we have when the lights are out?
Here beneath the sound
When we’re alone with the weight we can't lay down
(Can’t lay down)
Besides a love and a distant dream
When hope is hard to keep
And you are counting out the things you still believe
I hope you count on me

〈Bridge〉
We’ll stand in the backyard
Watching the planets in the night sky
Reminding ourselves that it will be all right
The world is wider than our fear
We’ll sit on the floorboards
Furnitureless inside our new house
Breaking bread above this holy ground
We’ll let the future find us here

〈Chorus〉
What do we have when the lights are out?
Here beneath the sound
When we’re alone with the weight we can't lay down
(Can’t lay down)
Besides a love and a distant dream
When hope is hard to keep
And you are counting out the things you still believe
I hope you count on me
〈Outro〉
(Always, always)
You can count on me
(Always, always)
(Always, always)
When hope is hard to keep
(Always, always)
