[Verse 1]
I was just a kid in the yard
Bare feet on the cold back steps
Then the whole dark shook like a breath
And the sky held up its secrets
Slow sparks moved over the roofs
Like they knew my name by heart
I stood still with my hands half open
Feeling small in the stretch of stars
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know what they are
But they never went away
Every time I felt alone
They were hanging there in place
[Chorus]
Lights above me, lights above me
(above me)
Tell me I'm not dreaming
Lights above me, lights above me
(above me)
You were always breathing
I don't know your name
But you gave me hope
I don't know your name
But you gave me hope
[Verse 2]
Years rolled by in borrowed rooms
With the same old ache inside
But when the night got heavy
I’d look up and feel you rise
A silver edge on the cloud line
A wink through the rain-stained glass
Like a hand on the shoulder saying
This won't be the last
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't know what they are
But they never let me fall
When the world went cold and loud
You were shining through it all
[Chorus]
Lights above me, lights above me
(above me)
Tell me I'm not dreaming
Lights above me, lights above me
(above me)
You were always breathing
I don't know your name
But you gave me hope
I don't know your name
But you gave me hope
[Bridge]
Maybe you're a sign
Maybe you're just skies
Maybe something holy
Passing through my life
If I ever lose my way
Let them find me again
Same strange light, same quiet grace
At the edge of everything
[Chorus]
Lights above me, lights above me
(above me)
Tell me I'm not dreaming
Lights above me, lights above me
(above me)
You were always breathing
I don't know your name
But you gave me hope
I don't know your name
But you gave me hope
