Sunday, when I can't answer any calls or texts
I'm not in the mood for anything
Though not very often, I feel sick of it
I feel a little helpless right now
But I still feel like I can save someone
I hear your voice
Within the noise, time stops
We are connected by sound, woah
When I close my eyes
In the darkness, your light woah
Lights the way for me
We can walk forward without fear, you & I woah
You're my light you're my light
Always shine into my heart
You're my light you're my light
No matter how far apart we are Your light shines on me
All the angels who know pain Flying on damaged wings through the night
Every time I'm thinking about love Every time I'm thinking about love
I don't wanna listen to just happy songs
I'll face my loneliness, color my life
Losing and gaining, but I'm still searching for something today
Yeah I believe that things will change
No one is perfect
Even this moment has its own meaning
And we are connected by sound, woah
When you close your eyes
In the darkness, my light woah
Lights the way for you
Let's walk forward without fear, you & I woah
I'm your light I'm your light
Always shine into your heart
I'm your light I'm your light
No matter how far apart we are My light shines on you
I never thought there'd be a sleepless night
Turns out they weren't lies And it made me get stronger
What is love?
If there's an answer I wanna know right now
I'm breaking down I can see there's light inside Dawn will come to the darkest of nights
Overcome, even the future, we won't stop from now on
Decide for yourself what it means to be happy
Every day, take a step to grow up
But it's OK sometimes to show weakness
It's okay to be you
Don't lie to yourself any more
Everything connects by sound, woah
When I close my eyes
In the darkness, your light woah
Lights the way for me
We can walk forward without fear, you & I woah
You're my light you're my light
Always shine into my heart
You're my light you're my light
No matter how far apart we are Your light shines on me
How far apart we are Your light shines on me
