About This Track

The lyrics move through insecurity and self-scrutiny, with the narrator describing confusion over what they see in someone else, then turning toward accountability. There is a refusal to present it as saving anyone else, and a desire to improve by facing “issues for real”. The ending pivots to encouragement and resolve, asking for something brighter through a simple call to be lit up.

Lyrics

Light Up

I was so insecure
Never seen this light before
I was looking at you like a mirror
All I could make of the glitter was my mistakes
I didn't come here to save no one
I'm just trying to be your girl
I lost you, but I wanna be better
Wanna face up to my issues for real

So, baby, light up
Light up the way to your heart
One flash is enough
To keep me out of the dark
Hey, hey, I know I let you down
But my eyes are open now
So, baby, light up (Light up)
Light up the way to your heart

Beam your light through the glass
Send a beacon, make it smash
Until everything's real, but it's see-through
Baby, I just wanna see you
I don't wanna change a thing about you
I just wanna be the one that you choose
When my mind drifts off, thinking 'bout the future
And technicolor breaks the black-and-white illusion

So, baby, light up
Light up the way to your heart
One flash is enough
To keep me out of the dark
Hey, hey, I know I let you down
But my eyes are open now
So, baby, light up (Light up)
Light up the way to your heart

Ba-baby, light up (Baby)
Ba-baby, light, flash is (Light up)
The way to your heart (Baby)
Ba-baby, light up
Ba-baby, light, flash is (Light up)
The way to your heart (Baby)

So, baby, light up
Light up the way to your heart
One flash is enough
To keep me out of the dark
So, baby, light up
Light up the way to your heart

Baby, light up
