All Lights Up - Acollective

That night that you were dressed in white

And the world stood still and silent

I never felt quite so small

And I thought that no one saw it

And it all lights up for me

We stumbled in the open dark

Skipping through the cuts and bruises

You were glowing from the very start

And we were rising lighter —

So why the sad eyes?

So why the sad eyes?

When it all lights up for me

And if you lose direction

Or end up broken

I’ll fix you with glue and some string

For all that’s unsung on the tip of your tongue

I can see it from under your skin

But to lose your conviction — relief!

Slowly the streets will rise up in defeat

If the roof falls apart

Or we can’t leave a mark

If our lives never change

Or we keep changing our hearts —

You’re still all that I need

And it all lights up

It all lights up for me

It all lights up

It all lights up for me

It all lights up

It all lights up for me

It all lights up

It all lights up for me

That night that you were dressed in white

And the world stood still and silent

Spinning through the open dark

And we were rising lighter

So why the sad eyes?
