On and off
On and off
I remember you going on and off
Like the street lights in Arizona
The heat burns, I'm used to it
Music plays on repeat, each one about you.
Maybe it's me. Perhaps it nothing.
But somehow the street lights still flicker
And I still think of you.
And the moon is always full. I wonder if it is for you too.
Back at home, what I ran away from. Home.
You. Maybe.
On and off
On and off
White to yellow to black
The light never seems to make up their mind.
They will repair it tomorrow.
Tomorrow I will hear from u.
On and off
1-hour calls
On and off
All night regrets
My heart goes on and off.
On and off
On and off
Like the flickering street lights.
