[Verse 1]
I will show you, for example
A situation that's like winter
I'm not complaining about night time
It's harder in the morning

[Verse 2]
My room's too small for parties
Too spacious when you're lonely
Some books can replace friends
That's as long as you like reading

[Chorus]
Turn the lights out when you're leaving
I want to watch the car park empty
It's easy when they're strangers to wave goodbye

[Verse 3]
My brother's back off holiday
He's been chasing girls in Spain
He said he'd bring me a guitar
Which, I said, could bring me fame

[Verse 4]
I remember your excitement
Choosing pictures for your wall
And now you've seen them all so often
You hardly see them anymore
[Chorus]
Turn the lights out when you're leaving
I want to watch the car park empty
It's easy when they're strangers to wave goodbye

[Bridge]
Hmm, mm, mm
Mmm, mm, mm, mmm, mm
Mmm, mm, mm, mmm, hmm

[Verse 4]
I remember your excitement
Choosing pictures for your wall
And now you've seen them all so often
You hardly see them anymore

[Chorus]
Turn the lights out when you're leaving
I want to watch the car park empty
It's easy when they're strangers to wave goodbye
