Light It Up - Third Eye Blind

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

And let it burn
