Shine
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
(him) we couldn't decide on who was going to drive tonight,
(him) so i guess he felt the tension from his side of this taxi-ride.
(him) asking us where we're headed for, and if we were both alright,
(him) i said "just drive".
(chorus)
(him) i... i still shine,
(him) with every passing neon sign,
(him) i took everything inside
(him) i still shine
(him) i take my coat and i go where i always go.
(ilse) guess that 'll pay for the ride
(him) right or wrong, it's the same old song cause you never try
(ilse) shut up, cause you never listen
(ilse) you're selfish and conceited and man, you never compromise
(him) well i still shine
(both) i... i still shine,
(ilse) if you'd rather be alone, just take your torments and go on
(both) i still shine
(ilse) shine all you want, but you don't taste like you used to.
(him) you can cry all you want, but you don't bring me down like you used to
(both)you never gave me credits for the things i did for you
(ilse) i'm allright
(him) yeah i'm allright, yeah.
(both) i... i still shine
(both) with every passing neon sign,
(both) i took everything inside
(both) i still shine
(him) oh-oh-oh, i still shine
(ilse) i still shine
(him) i still shine
(ilse) i still shine
(him) i still shine
(ilse) oh-oh-oh, i still shine
(him) i still shine
(ilse) i still shine
(him) i still shine
(ilse) i still shine
