lyrics
(two, three, four) (a lamp hums at half) You installed a dimmer switch The week you started leaving slow Now every evening's got a hitch How low, exactly, can we go? (how low, how low) We don't turn off, we just turn down A long fade nobody chose (down, down) Just flip it off or flip it on Flip it off or flip it on I can live with dark or dawn But flip it off or flip it on Flip it off or flip it on (no more half-light, no more half) Half-lit dinners, half-said things Your wine glass sweating on the wood We're moths with perfectly good wings Circling a maybe like it's good (it's not, it's not) Just flip it off or flip it on Flip it off or flip it on I can live with dark or dawn But flip it off or flip it on Flip it off or flip it on I stood there with my thumb on it A long time after you went up (click... click...) Funny how a little wheel Can hold a whole grown heart's luck Just flip it off or flip it on Flip it off or flip it on I can live with dark or dawn But flip it off or flip it on (all the way on) (there — see everything)
