I checked the window
There's nothing shining in the sky
How am I ever gonna get them rays?
Am I gonna see it flash before I die?
I’ve been reaching like a flower
Gotta grow higher and higher
Every single, every single hour
Gotta grow higher and higher
Lying on the fault line
Begging that, begging that sun to shine
Time to let the light in
Rolling in the rip tide
Pull me up, pull me up lord I'm dying
Time to let the light in
I paused the picture
I couldn't spare the room inside
I didn't notice when the neighbours left
But I guess you’ve got to earn that goodbye
I’ve been reaching like a flower
Gotta grow higher and higher
Nothing left, left to be devoured
Gotta grow higher and higher
Lying on the fault line
Begging that, begging that sun to shine
Time to let the light in
Rolling in the rip tide
Pull me up, pull me up lord I'm dying
Time to let the light in
Oh is this what you meant?
Gotta grow higher and higher
Don't know where it went
Gotta grow higher and higher and higher and higher
Lying on the fault line
Begging that, begging that sun to shine
Time to let the light in
Rolling in the rip tide
Pull me up, pull me up lord I'm dying
Time to let the light in

Walk the line
Knowing it’s not in fashion
Heart on the sleeve of my satin blouse
Going to your house
Every night
Looking for satisfaction
You could be a lover
But honestly I’ve had too many to count
Part of me is over it
Pretend I don’t give a shit
I answer your messages
Sit and I question why people leave read receipts on
And I’m just a pawn
In some game of love
This isn’t me at all
Need to change it up
I’ve seen the light
But it doesn’t mean that much
Can’t fall asleep
I may never get up
Into the night
I think my time is up
I’ve seen the light
And that’s enough -----
So I try softness
Sometimes mistaken for kindness
But if I’m too kind that’s weakness
‘Till I become blind
And sleepless
Can’t treat this
Oh I’m faithful
To those I feel deserve love
But I guess that’s everyone
Not sure that I have enough
Nobody’s made me feel this way
And now I’ll never be the same
Hang up the phone and scream your name
Again again
But I like the pain
I’ve seen the light
But it doesn’t mean that much
Can’t fall asleep
I may never get up
Into the night
I think my time is up
I’ve seen the light
That’s enough
