Lyrics

Shine

Making up my life

Killer in the night

Rattling my brains

Looking for that light

Shine, shine

Ah shine so bright, shine

When does that thing

I want to breathe her in

Throw away my world

If I could see that pearl

Shine, shine, shine, shine

Shine, shine, shine, shine

The skin is deep

But your oh so weak

Don't put your faith

In the words they speak

The skin is deep

But your oh so weak

Don't put your faith

In the words they speak

Gimme gimme reason for the things I do

Silhouette I'm seeing in the shape of you

Gimme gimme reason for the things I do

Silhouette I'm seeing in the shape of you

Shine, shine, shine

Shine, shine

When it does that thing
