lyrics

(a fuse box clicks, the block goes dark)
(oh... okay okay)

The fuse blew out at nine fifteen
The whole block dark, the stars washed clean
Someone's speaker still had charge
A small song walking somewhere large

Bring your candles to the rail
(to the rail)
Light travels where the wires fail

The power's out (we glow)
The power's out (we glow)
No screens tonight, just hands to hold
The power's out (we glow)
The power's out (we glow)
The dark has never felt this gold

The freezer's losing its cold war
So ice cream's free on the second floor
We pass the tub, we pass one spoon
The stairwell singing out of tune
(out of tune, in time)

The power's out (we glow)
The power's out (we glow)
No screens tonight, just hands to hold
The power's out (we glow)
The power's out (we glow)

When the lights come back at two
I'll pretend they never do
(never do)
Keep the block this shade of new
Keep me on this step with you

The power's out (we glow)
The power's out (we glow)
(we glow, we glow)

(the fridge hums back awake)
(aw... there it goes)
