Light and Dark

Verse 1

You wake up chasing light

I wake up praying for five more nights

You’re sipping dreams from a coffee cup

I’m stuck in bed, can’t get back up

You walk in, bright like summer

I fade out, hoping they don’t see my number

Pre-Chorus

You and I, we're built so wrong

But I still hum your favorite song

You shine loud, I move in hush

Still I can’t help feeling this rush

Chorus

We’re light and dark, fire and snow

You speed ahead, I move slow

You’re wide open, I’m shut tight

Still I think of you every night

We’re not the same, not at all

But I’m the first to fall

Backing vocals:

Light and dark (ooh)

Fire and snow (oh no)

Wide open heart (ahh)

First to fall

Verse 2

You tell the truth like a melody

I twist my thoughts so carefully

You walk in like you belong

I’m just praying I’m not all wrong

You turn heads, I turn away

But I still hope you'll look my way

Pre-Chorus (variant)

You and I, black and white

Different skies, same lonely nights

You lift rooms just with your name

I disappear, but feel the flame

Chorus

We’re light and dark, fire and snow

You speed ahead, I move slow

You’re wide open, I’m shut tight

Still I think of you every night

We’re not the same, not at all

But I’m the first to fall

Backing vocals:

Light and dark

Fire and snow

Wide open heart

First to fall

Bridge

Maybe it’s chaos, maybe it’s fate

Maybe we met just a moment too late

Maybe I’m broken, maybe you’re whole

But when you smile, you pull my soul

Breakdown (spoken or soft singing)

I don’t need perfect, I don’t need more

I just wish I knew what you came here for

You light the match, I breathe the spark

You bring the day, I bring the dark

Final Chorus (lift)

We’re light and dark, fire and snow

I keep on falling, you’ll never know

You're a sunrise I can’t touch

But I still crave your light too much

We’re not the same, not at all

But I was made to fall

Outro

Light and dark

Fire and snow

First to fall

You’ll never know
