“Here They Come” is the first single from Leithauser’s solo album The Loves of Your Life. The song’s teaser video features Leithauser playing the song for actor Ethan Hawke to get his feedback. Hawke gets angry, presumably because the song is about him, and beats him up.
[Verse 1]
The lights are coming on
And all your candy's gone
Spinning through the previews
Flipping through the seats
Popcorn in your loafers
Sugar in your teeth
You say the lovers in your life
Should listen to you more
But you can tell that to the usher

All the lights
One by one
Here they come
I was a fool
I was blind
I kept my eyes shut half the time
All the lights
One by one
Here they come
