Lyrics

Light

[Verse 1]

Summer in her light-yellow dress with

Big dreams, she was gonna be an actress

Told me about it all on our mattress

So young, didn't know what we had then

Brevity, hanging on every word said

Blankets, desert lights over our heads, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]

And I wish there was a way that I could make you feel the way I feel

But you've been moving on just like the seasons while I'm standing still

[Chorus]

And now you're gone, I can still taste you on my lips

You're the stain that remains on my fingertips

Can't turn you down, can't put you out

Honey, you're the light to my cigarette

You're the rush of blood that I think I need

Running through my veins like my nicotine

Can't turn you down, can't put you out

Honey, you're the light to my cigarette

[Verse 2]

Hearts, they never heal in a straight line

Twelve weeks since you had to go and break mine

Sinking here like a stone

Sad to say, yeah, I know

It's dark here, spinning deep into my head

Tell me that this ain't how it all ends

Don't know where the time goes

I'll run to you with eyes closed

[Pre-Chorus]

I wish there was a way that I could make you feel the way I feel

But you've been moving on just like the seasons while I'm standing still

[Chorus]

And now you're gone, I can still taste you on my lips

You're the stain that remains on my fingertips

Can't turn you down, can't put you out

Honey, you're the light to my cigarette

You're the rush of blood that I think I need

Running through my veins like my nicotine

Can't turn you down, can't put you out

Honey, you're the light to my cigarette
