Light Me Up

[Verse 1]
You flick a match
Hold it way too close to your eyes
You say
“Relax”
But your hands are drawing new lines
Slow-motion spin
In the middle of a crowded room
You pull me in
Like I’m circling a hidden moon
[Pre-Chorus]
You talk in riddles
I’m tracing every word
You say
“Jump first”
And I jump first
[Chorus]
Light me up
’Til I’m burning through the ceiling
Turn me on
’Til I’m brighter than the sun
If I fall
Let me fall into your feeling
Light me up
Light me up
You’re the only one
(yeah, you’re the only one)
[Verse 2]
You change your name
Every night you scribble it new
You bend the frame
Make the whole world lean into you
I lose my step
Staring at the way that you move
A slow car wreck
But I’m smiling as I crash into you
[Pre-Chorus]
You talk in circles
I follow every turn
You say
“Get close”
And I still burn
[Chorus]
Light me up
’Til I’m burning through the ceiling
Turn me on
’Til I’m brighter than the sun
If I break
Let me break inside your breathing
Light me up
Light me up
You’re the only one
[Bridge]
Turn the silence up
Let the static crawl on my skin (oh)
Every empty word
Is another way you pull me in
Am I losing shape
Or am I finally waking up
Say my name again
Watch the darkness open up
[Chorus]
Light me up
’Til I’m burning through the ceiling
Turn me on
’Til I’m brighter than the sun
If I fade
Paint me back inside your dreaming
Light me up
Light me up
You’re the only one
Light me up
Light me up
You’re the only one
