Discover the story of the song > Lights – Hurts

The song is about the protagonist wanting his partner to dance with him and not leave him alone at the dance floor. He asks her to get up and start dancing with him so he can see her and be close to her. The chorus is a repetition of him wanting her to turn up the lights so he can see her dancing and not feel alone. The last verse is him expressing his desire to be close to her, even in the dark, and wanting to see her dance.
