"Light Like You" lyrics

"Light Like You"

She said, do you wanna do acid? I said
I've been dying to get out of my head
And if I get a little lost, hold my hand
I've been looking for a light like you

Sometimes all it takes is a bad day
A time, and a place, and a girl
The kind that won't ask for your last name
But'll give you the thing you didn't know you needed most in the world

I met her two drinks into Tuesday
Her pupils were small at the time
I told her I'm fighting the blues, babe
And she gave me the most conspiratorial smile

She had glitter on her lips
Now I got glitter on my cheek
She put my hands up on her hips
Then she leaned into me

She said, do you wanna do acid? I said
I've been dying to get out of my head
And if I get a little lost, hold my hand
I've been looking for a light like you
She said, I think you're on some sad shit, I said
I'm sick of living in the past tense, let's dance
The night away, until this fades
I've been looking for a light like you

Her eyes turned to stars in my darkness
Her touch took me out of the haze
And I saw all my problems in prettier shades
As I tripped and I fell into place

She had glitter on her lips
Now I got glitter in my sheets
And I'll probably never get it out
But that's okay with me

She said, do you wanna do acid? I said
I've been dying to get out of my head
And if I get a little lost, hold my hand
I've been looking for a light like you
She said, I think you're on some sad shit, I said
I'm sick of living in the past tense, let's dance
The night away, until this fades
I've been looking for a light like you

It's been three weeks now and I can't come down
I see her face when the stars come out
It's ringing in my head
Yeah I remember when

She said, do you wanna do acid? I said
I've been dying to get out of my head
And if I get a little lost, hold my hand
I've been looking for a light like you
She said, I think you're on some sad shit, I said
I'm sick of living in the past tense, let's dance
The night away, until this fades
I've been looking for a light like you
