Shine

I never really feel quite right
and I don't know why
all I know is something's wrong
Every time I look at you, you seem so alive
Tell me how you do it, walk me through it,
I'll follow in every footstep
Maybe on your own you take a cautious step
Till you wanna give it up, but all I want is for you
Shine, shine down on me
Shine on this life that's burnin' out
I say a lot of things sometimes that don't come out
right
And I act like I don't know why
I guess a reaction's all I was lookin' for
You look at through me
You really knew me
Nobody ever looked before
Maybe on your own you take a cautious step
Till you wanna give it up, but all I want is for you
Shine, shine down on me
Shine on this life that's burnin' out
(I know, I know, know you got somethin')
Shine, (shine it on to me) shine down on me (I wanna
feel it)
Shine on this life that's burnin' out
Maybe on your own you take a cautious step
Till you wanna give up, but all I want is for you
Shine, shine down on me (just show me something)
Shine on this life that's burnin' out
(you give me something that I've never known)
Shine (if you could show me the way)
Shine down on me (I want to know what's going on in
your life)
Shine on this life that's burnin' out
(don't you know I want you to?)
Shine, shine down on me,
Shine on this life that's burnin' out.
