All Lights Up

That night that you were dressed in white
And the world stood still and silent
I never felt quite so small
And I thought that no one saw it
And it all lights up for me
We stumbled in the open dark
Skipping through the cuts and bruises
You were glowing from the very start
And we were rising lighter —
So why the sad eyes?
So why the sad eyes?
When it all lights up for me
And if you lose direction
Or end up broken
I’ll fix you with glue and some string
For all that’s unsung on the tip of your tongue
I can see it from under your skin
But to lose your conviction — relief!
Slowly the streets will rise up in defeat
If the roof falls apart
Or we can’t leave a mark
If our lives never change
Or we keep changing our hearts —
You’re still all that I need
And it all lights up
It all lights up for me
It all lights up
It all lights up for me
It all lights up
It all lights up for me
It all lights up
It all lights up for me
That night that you were dressed in white
And the world stood still and silent
Spinning through the open dark
And we were rising lighter
So why the sad eyes?
