Lyrics

Lights Up

[Intro]

Step into the light

Step into the light

[Verse 1]

What do you mean?

I'm sorry by the way

Never coming back down

Can't you see?

I could, but wouldn't stay

Wouldn't put it like that

What do you mean?

I'm sorry by the way

Never coming around

It'd be so sweet if things just stayed the same

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

[Chorus]

All the lights couldn't put out the dark

Runnin' through my heart

Lights up and they know who you are

Know who you are

Do you know who you are?

[Bridge]

Shine, step into the light

Shine, so bright sometimes

Shine, I'm not ever going back

Shine, step into the light

Shine, so bright sometimes

Shine, I'm not ever going back

Shine, step into the light

Shine, so bright sometimes

Shine, I'm not ever (Ooh)

[Refrain]

Step into the light

[Verse 1]

Oh, what do you mean?

I'm sorry by the way

Never going back now

Can't you see?

I could, but wouldn't stay

Wouldn't put it like that

What do you mean?

I'm sorry by the way

Never coming around

It'd be so sweet if things just stayed the same

Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

[Chorus]

All the lights couldn't put out the dark

Runnin' through my heart

Lights up and they know who you are

Know who you are

Do you know who you are?

[Bridge]

Shine, step into the light

Shine, so bright sometimes

Shine, I'm not ever going back

Shine, step into the light

Shine, so bright sometimes

Shine, I'm not ever going back

Shine, step into the light

Shine, so bright sometimes

Shine, I'm not ever (Ooh)

[Outro]

Step into the light (Step into the light, yeah)

Step into the light (Yeah)

Step into the light (Step into the light, yeah)

Step into the light
