Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Whole block went still
Fridge gave up first
The hall clock blinked once
Then went dark, then worse
Your phone lit your face
Like a little blue moon
You said, "Stay right here"
But the room felt too soon
[Pre-Chorus]
I could hear the pipes
In the walls, in the floor
Every tiny sound
Got a name once more
[Chorus]
No power, no power
Hold me through the hour
No power, no power
You and me, that's ours
(hold me through the hour)
No power, no power
Till the lights come back around
[Verse 2]
Candle on the sink
Wax on your wrist
We laughed at the dark
Then we both got missed
Neighbors in the stairwell
Trading up the news
Someone found a lighter
Someone found the fuse
[Pre-Chorus]
I could hear you breathe
Like a wave in the room
Every little fear
Lost its shape too soon
[Chorus]
No power, no power
Hold me through the hour
No power, no power
You and me, that's ours
(hold me through the hour)
No power, no power
Till the lights come back around
[Bridge]
If the whole town goes black
Let it, let it
I know where you are
I can feel it
No screens, no noise
Just your hand in mine
We can make a home
Out of borrowed time
[Final Chorus]
No power, no power
Hold me through the hour
No power, no power
You and me, that's ours
(you and me, that's ours)
No power, no power
Till the lights come back around
(back around)
No power, no power
Till the lights come back around
Whole block went still
Fridge gave up first
The hall clock blinked once
Then went dark, then worse
Your phone lit your face
Like a little blue moon
You said, "Stay right here"
But the room felt too soon
[Pre-Chorus]
I could hear the pipes
In the walls, in the floor
Every tiny sound
Got a name once more
[Chorus]
No power, no power
Hold me through the hour
No power, no power
You and me, that's ours
(hold me through the hour)
No power, no power
Till the lights come back around
[Verse 2]
Candle on the sink
Wax on your wrist
We laughed at the dark
Then we both got missed
Neighbors in the stairwell
Trading up the news
Someone found a lighter
Someone found the fuse
[Pre-Chorus]
I could hear you breathe
Like a wave in the room
Every little fear
Lost its shape too soon
[Chorus]
No power, no power
Hold me through the hour
No power, no power
You and me, that's ours
(hold me through the hour)
No power, no power
Till the lights come back around
[Bridge]
If the whole town goes black
Let it, let it
I know where you are
I can feel it
No screens, no noise
Just your hand in mine
We can make a home
Out of borrowed time
[Final Chorus]
No power, no power
Hold me through the hour
No power, no power
You and me, that's ours
(you and me, that's ours)
No power, no power
Till the lights come back around
(back around)
No power, no power
Till the lights come back around
Style of Music
Indie-pop with a tense half-time pulse, clipped acoustic guitar and muted synth bass; verse stays spare with close-mic vocal and finger snaps, pre-chorus opens with rising harmony stacks, chorus lands on a wide singalong hook with gang doubles. Add reversed piano swells into each lift, a ticking percussion loop in the verses, and a final chorus with bright handclaps and delay throws on the last word. Clean, punchy mix with intimate center vocal and glossy top end.
