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
