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.
Come on, little light, you know my name
It's only gonna break you in the end
Nothing you could say could make it right
Only in the way of what you know
Come on to the floor, you're brittle bones
Don't be a fool, don't let me go
And we danced in the dark on the stairs
Like the people had pushed us out the room
Come on, little light, you stupid thing
It's only gonna hurt you in the end
Nothing you could say could make it right
Only in the way of what you know
Come on to the floor, you're brittle bones
Don't be a fool, don't let me go
And we danced in the dark on the stairs
Like the people had pushed us out the room
And we kissed on the crowded stairs
Like we didn't know anyone was there
It's nothing, it's nothing
It is nothing
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, home
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, down, down, down
We go
And we danced in the dark on the stairs
Like we didn't know anyone was there
It's nothing
It is, it is nothing
Oh, oh, oh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, home
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, down, down, down
We go
And we kissed in the dark on the stairs
And we kissed on the empty stairs
