Arctic Monkeys - leave before the lights come on

노래는 두 사람이 아침에 함께 일어나며 느끼는 어색함과 서로에 대한 감정을 탐색한다
친구 간의 복잡한 감정과 관계의 변화를 언급하며, 아침의 피곤함과 고난을 겪는 일상이 그려진다
결국 서로를 바라보는 시각의 차이가 드러나고, 모호한 감정들이 수면 위로 드러난다

Well, this is a good idea
He wouldn't do it if it wasn't
He wouldn't do it if it wasn't one
Well, my friend fancies you
Oh, what a way to begin it all
You said, "They're always exciting words to hear"
And they woke up together not quite realising how
Awkwardly stretching and yawning
It's always hard in the morning
And I suppose that's the price you pay
Well, oh, it isn't what it was
She's thinking he looks different today
And now there's nothing left to guess now
They left before the lights came on
Because they didn't want to ruin what it was that was brewing
Before they absolutely had to
And how can you wake up with someone you don't love
And not feel slightly fazed by it?
Oh, he had a struggle
And they woke up together not quite realising how
Awkwardly stretching and yawning
It's always hard in the morning
And I suppose that's the price you pay
Well, oh, it isn't what it was
She's thinking he looks different today
And now there's nothing left to guess now
