Light Like You

She said, "Do you wanna do acid?"

I said, "I've been dying to get out of my head

And if I get a little lost, hold my hand

I've been looking for a light like you"

Sometimes all it takes is a bad day

A time and a place and a girl

The kind that won't ask for your last name

But'll give you the thing you didn't know you needed most in the world

I met her two drinks into Tuesday

Her pupils were small at the time

I told her, "I'm fighting the blues, babe"

And she gave me the most conspiratorial smile

She had glitter on her lips

Now I got glitter on my cheek

She put my hands up on her hips

Then she leaned into me

She said, "Do you wanna do acid?"

I said, "I've been dying to get out of my head

And if I get a little lost, hold my hand

I've been looking for a light like you"

She said, "I think you're on some sad shit"

I said, "I'm sick of living in the past tense

Let's dance the night away until this fades

I've been looking for a light like you

Her eyes turned to stars in my darkness

Her touch took me out of the haze

And I saw all my problems in prettier shades

As I tripped and I fell into place

She had glitter on her lips

Now I got glitter in my sheets

I'll probably never get it out

But that's okay with me

She said, "Do you wanna do acid?"

I said, "I've been dying to get out of my head

And if I get a little lost, hold my hand

I've been looking for a light like you"

She said, "I think you're on some sad shit"

I said, "I'm sick of living in the past tense

Let's dance the night away until this fades

I've been looking for a light like you

It's been three weeks now, and I can't come down

I see her face when the stars come out

It's ringing in my head

Yeah, I remember when

She said, "Do you wanna do acid?"

I said, "I've been dying to get out of my head

And if I get a little lost, hold my hand

I've been looking for a light like you"

She said, "I think you're on some sad shit"

I said, "I'm sick of living in the past tense

Let's dance the night away until this fades

I've been looking for a light like you
