It's a contradiction, I know
I have to close my eyes to see you
When the lights go out, it feels the brightest
because I can see in my mind better with eyelids pressed tight
& I'm not scared of the dark but I need some imaginary light
And in the same way nights feels bright as day,
daytime is dark as midnight
because when I open my eyes
...I can't see you...
Though the lights turn on, it's still dark because you're not here
And it's a contradiction, I know,
**but I still see you even when I don't
