Lyrics

We went to see my parents
When you had your long hair and I was barely eating
Had nothing warm to wear
You slept in late one morning, I almost lost my head
I always think too much about something that I said
On Halloween night when your knuckles were all bruised
And I waited in your driveway just to talk it out with you
And you were crying when you thought I was something you could lose
I took something and I made it shine
Without even knowing it couldn't be mine
But what if I was a broken light humming along like a song in the night
Warning the people, just walking the streets
It's gonna be dark, so you might as well leave
And there are places I was never meant to see
I never knew a time when you weren't protecting me
Like when we had this road between us and stitches in your foot
I couldn't hear your voice, so I just had to look
I took something and I made it shine
Without even knowing it couldn't be mine
But what if I was a firefly stuck in a jar just to glow up the night
Captured in vain, nowhere to be
I'm not gonna go, so you might as well sleep
If the flame goes out, I know it wasn't up to me
Winds can pick up and there's not enough trust in the way things should be
Oh, I've called it a million things, but never was it free
Hope is such a funny price to pay for relief
Took something and I made it shine
Without even knowing it couldn't be mine
But what if I was a broken light humming along like a song in the night
Falling to pieces, nobody knows
Doing my best just to take you back home
