"Run Into The Light Medley"

Who are we to be emotional?
Who are we to play with hearts?
And throw away it all
Who are we to turn each others heads?
Who are we to find ourselves in other people's beds?
I don't like the way I never listen to myself
I feel like I'm on fire, I'm too shy to cry for help

I don't think you know me much at all

This love is be and end all
This love will be your downfall
I'm feeling down about this love

Who are you to make me feel so good?
Who are we to tell ourselves that we're misunderstood?
Oh who am I to say I'm always yours
Who am I to choose the boy that everyone adores
I don't see a reason why we can't just be apart
Now we're falling on each other like we're always in the dark

I don't think you warned me much at all

This love is be and end all
This love will be your downfall

This love is not what you want
This heart will never be yours
This love is be and end all
This love will be your downfall

This love is be and end all
This love will be your downfall

You're so quiet
But it doesn't faze me
You're on time
You move so fast
Makes me feel lazy

And let's join forces
We've got our guns and horses
I know you've been burnt
But every fire is a lesson learnt

I left my house
Left my clothes
Door wide open
Heaven knows
You're so worth it, you are

But I wish I could feel it all for you
I wish I could be it all for you
If I could erase the pain
And maybe you'd feel the same
I'd do it all for you
I would, I would, I would, I would, I would

Let's tie words
'Cause they amount to nothing
Play it down
Pretend you can't take what you've found
But you found me
On a screen you sit at permanently

I left my house
Left my clothes
Door wide open
Heaven knows
You're so worth it, you are

But I wish I could feel it all for you
I wish I could be it all for you
If I could erase the pain
And maybe you'd feel the same
I'd do it all for you
I would, I would, I would, I would

It's time to come clean and make sense of everything
It's time that we found out who we are
'Cause when I'm standing here in the dark
I see your face in every star

But I wish I could feel it all for you
I wish I could be it all for you
If I could erase the pain
And maybe you'd feel the same
I'd do it all for you
I would, I would, I would, I would, I would

I'd do it all for you, I would
I'd do it all for you, I would
I'd do it all for you, I would
I'd do it all for you, I would
I'd do it all for you

I had a way then
Losing it all on my own
I had a heart then
But the queen has been overthrown
And I'm not sleeping now
The dark is too hard to beat
And I'm not keeping up
The strength I need to push me

You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine them when I'm alone
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
And dreaming when they're gone
'Cuz they're calling, calling, calling me home
Calling, calling, calling home
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
You shine them when I'm alone

Noises, I play within my head
Touch my own skin
And hope they'll still be there
And I think back to when
My brother and my sister slept
In another place
The only time I feel safe

Lights, lights
Lights, lights
Lights, lights
Lights, lights
Lights, lights
Lights, lights
Lights, lights
Lights, lights
Lights, lights
Lights, lights
Lights, lights
Lights, lights
Lights, lights
Lights, lights

Home, home
(Lights, lights, lights)...

You're as sharp as a knife and you fit like a glove
That is no way to live that is no way to love
Full of fear in your skin and the weakness in giving in

Stabbed in the back but you feel no pain
Push the heaviest doors that you can't open
Yeah they tied me up and my body lies still, again

You're as bright as the sun and as bold as the moon
I don't know when you'll break but it's gonna be soon
If my will caves in, I'll be in the same boat as you

I've got the salt skin
Running to where he is
Never going to give in
Even with the strength

He's stealing salt skin
Telling me I'm winning wars they
Created just to understand
"The meaning of"

Hands on strings and my mouth open
Find the perfect words that I've not spoken
And I won't tell the truth unless you want me to

For all of the times that I lost my head
When it rolled to the floor and I found it again
But when it came back
I didn't know my own name

I've got the salt skin
Running to where he is
Never going to give in
Even with the strength

He's stealing salt skin
Telling me I'm winning wars they
Created just to understand
"The meaning of"

I've got the salt skin
Running to where he is
Never going to give in
Even with the strength

He's stealing salt skin
Telling me I'm winning wars they
Created just to understand

I've got the salt skin
Running to where he is
Never going to give in
Even with the strength

He's stealing salt skin
Telling me I'm winning wars they
Created just to understand...
"The meaning of"

Oh, oh, starry eyed
Hit, hit, hit, hit, hit me with lightning

Handle bars
That I let go, let go
For anyone
Take me in
And I'll throw out my heart
And get a new one

Next thing, we're touching
You look at me it's like you hit me with lightning

Oh
Everybody's starry eyed
And everybody glows
Oh
Everybody's starry eyed
And my body goes

So we burst
Into colours
Colours
And carousels
Fall head first
Like paper planes and playground games

Next thing, we're touching
You look at me it's like you hit me with lightning

Oh
Everybody's starry eyed
And everybody glows
Oh
Everybody's starry eyed
And my body goes

Next thing, we're touching
Next thing, we're touching
(We come and we go)
Next thing, we're touching
Next thing, we're touching
(But we're not in love)
Next thing, we're touching
Next thing, we're touching
(We come and we go)
(But we're not in love)
Next thing, we're touching
Next thing, we're touching
Hit me with lightning

Oh
Everybody's starry eyed
And everybody glows
Oh
Everybody's starry eyed
And my body goes

Like all the boys before, like all the boys, boys, boys
Like all the boys before, like all the boys, boys, boys

You left your blood stain on the floor
You set your sights on him
You left a hand print on the door
Like all the boys before, like all the boys before (boys boys boys boys)

This is our luck, baby, running out
Her clothes were never off
We still have hours to run about
To scale the map, scale the map, to get us back on track
I've seen you in a fight you lost, I've seen you in a fii-ii-ii-ii-ght

Were under the sheets and you're killing me
In our house made of paper, your words all over me
Were under the sheets and you're killin me

Like all the boys before, like all the boys, boys, boys
Like all the boys before, like all the boys, boys, boys

In here the world won't bring us down
Our plan is golden
Out there a lonely girl could drown
In here were frozen

Where did the people go?
My hands are empty
You're not the answer I should know
Like all the boys before, like all the boys before
(Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,)

Were in a mess baby, were in a mess babe
Your more is less babe (oh, oh)
Were in a mess baby, were in a mess babe
Your more is less babe (oh, oh!)

Were under the sheets and you're killin me
In our house made of paper, and you're words all over me
We're under the sheets and you're killin' me
(I've seen you in a fight you lost)
Like all the boys before, like all the boys before
Were under the sheets and your killing me
Our house full of paper and you're words all over me
Were under the sheets and you're killing me
(Oh you're killin me, your killin me!!)

Were under the sheets and you're killing me
In our house made of paper, your words all over me
Were under the sheets and you're killin me
(Killin me, killin me, killin me)
Killin me, killin me, killin me

Oh, oh, starry eyed
Hit, hit, hit, hit, hit me with lightning

Handle bars
That I let go, let go
For anyone
Take me in
And I'll throw out my heart
And get a new one

Next thing, we're touching
You look at me it's like you hit me with lightning

Oh
Everybody's starry eyed
And everybody glows
Oh
Everybody's starry eyed
And my body goes

So we burst
Into colours
Colours
And carousels
Fall head first
Like paper planes and playground games

Next thing, we're touching
You look at me it's like you hit me with lightning

Oh
Everybody's starry eyed
And everybody glows
Oh
Everybody's starry eyed
And my body goes
