Lyrics
Description
Do not mention sound effects or instruments in the lyrics
Light me up — light me up, light me up tonight, Light me up — light me up, let the city write.
Light me up — light me up, light me up tonight, Light me up — light me up, hold this moment
tight.
Light me up — light me up, light me up tonight, Light me up — light me up, keep the stars
inside.
Polaroid smiles, the subway's soft glow.
A neon daily sign, hums your name in red.
We traded quiet Sundays for the life we led.
Pulse gets louder, traffic comes in time.
Tonight we're endless, this small world is mine.
Light me up — light me up, light me up tonight, Light me up — light me up, let the city
ride.
Light me up — light me up, light me up tonight, Light me up — light me up, keep the stars
inside.
Remember the ticket stub you shoved in my hand?
A paper promise folded tight like a plan.
I spent the quiet, burned the hours for the show.
If we lose it all tomorrow, at least we let it glow.
There's a cost to shining your lead, a whispered fear.
But I'll trade every sunrise for one more night here.
Light me up — light me up, light me up tonight, Light me up — light me up, let the city
ride.
Light me up — light me up, light me up tonight, Light me up — light me up, hold this moment
tight.
So light me up and don't let daylight steal our song.
We'll burn like constellations, bright and brief and long.
Light me up — light me up tonight.
