Glowing

Never let go of the way that a small town feels when the sun's down A gentle glow from the lamp posts lining the streets 'Cause I didn't know that the grey in the air after a heavy rain Could kill off stars so easily, a flicker dying under the sheets It's alright to hold on to what feels safe But it just feels so right To stay out when it gets late As long as you can keep on Glowing All this light is overflowing Radiating over you, just like the moon Lit by the sun of someone else's noon It's a hell of a way to start Whenever you tend to depend on that funny feeling In your gut when you're young So you run through the dark Careless of what's hiding around the bend, the way You don't seem to feel anything Putting matches out on your tongue Ignite, you're wading through the haze While I stay up each night To make sense of empty space So tell me how you keep on Glowing All this light is overflowing Radiating over you, just like the moon Lit by the sun of someone else's noon If I could let go Of the need to stay closely behind when you're near me I'd gently glow in my own way and light up the street I wish I could show That the brighter you shine, the darker it seems for Everything else surrounding you, just far enough out of reach So tell me how you keep on So tell me how you keep on Glowing All this light is overflowing Radiating over you, just like the moon Lit by the sun of someone else's noon
