The Lighter
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.
Her hands just won't stop shaking
I hope she gets the feeling
This is becoming too routine
Always chase heartache with two shades of blush
One white and the other one is beige
Your smile is so contagious
I think we're catching it again
You said it's not your problem
So I pushed foundations across your chest
Oh, don't let it get you down
She's like a fire burning into the walls
Just like her shadow you know I won't forget
He's like the lighter sending her up in flames
Her smoke is seen for miles and miles
He says don't stop while she's getting it all
He's turning around and won't look back
But she knows when she hits that terminal, it's on
This is life at the speed of light, don't turn around on me
So I pushed foundations across your chest
Oh, don't let it get you down
She's like a fire burning into the walls
Just like her shadow you know I won't forget
He's like the lighter sending her up in flames
Her smoke is seen for miles and miles.
She's getting it all, she's getting it all
He's turning around and won't look back
But she knows when she hits that terminal, it's on
What have you been waiting for? (She's like a fire)
This is the way it goes, tonight, you know (She's like a fire)
She's like a fire burning into the walls
Just like her shadow you know I won't forget
He's like the lighter sending her up in flames
Her smoke is seen for miles and miles
