Lyrics
As I sit in the dark
With my own little light
It's hard to remember
What exists beyond sight
Oh, the darkness around
Hides some terrible things
I turn my light just a little
To see what it brings
Well my own little little light
Seems to stay in the room
The darkness around
It tries to consume
And I tend to forget
There's lights all around
With their own little space
And their own little sound
See, my light seems to flicker
Every time it turns on
Oh, one second it's shining
The next it is gone
If you time it just right
Your light will emit
Every time mine flickers
Well, yours won't quit
No, it won't quit
If we're all just flickering lights
Well then there's always
Always a light on
Oh, we got to shine (Shine)
On each other
When the darkness
Yeah, the darkness finds one
Now these flashes of light
They leave me confused
Oh, why have a light
That can always be used?
And then I think, hey
If that light's always on
Then we won't know darkness
Or know right from wrong
So I'll walk through the flashes
Towards the glow
Stay away from the ashes
Away from the low, and I will
Always leave a light on
If we're all just flickering lights
Well then, there's always
Always a light on
Oh, we got to shine (Shine)
On each other
When the darkness
Yeah, the darkness finds one
Now I gotta remember
There's lights all around
How we share the same darkness
We share the same sound
And I gotta remember
The way you would shine
