"Light It Up" lyrics

"Light It Up"

Like the sound of thousands running
We didn't have time to be terrified
And all the soldiers' eyes, they were looking right through us
That's the day when something in us died

The kiss of death comes to you
Soft and wet and see through
And you never knew
The moment that you died
Your eyes screamed like a beacon fire
I'm grit and wire by your side
And the face of death
Looks just like being satisfied

Will we meet again?
Here we are between a laugh now and a cry
Piercing clear and piercing true
All that time has done to you
I hope you find something you remember

So light
You are the magic in the ashes
Strike the matches light it up
So light
Your face in me
So let me see you light it up, oh light it up
And let it burn

A window seat before the shut down
Thirty six thousand feet above the ground
Done a thousand laps around the world now
But I never stopped to see it, no I never looked around

The kiss of death comes to you
Soft and wet and see through
And you never knew
The moment that you died
But the ocean and the stars blue
Set something in the laws
That blasts this summer's head in

And fills us with delight

So light
You are the magic in the ashes
Strike the matches light it up
So light
Your face in me
So let me see you light it up, oh light it up
And let it burn, oh
And let it burn, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
