Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
[Verse 2]
B-b-be careful makin' wishes in the dark, dark
Can't be sure when they've hit their mark, mark
And besides in the mean, mean time
I'm just dreaming of tearin' you apart
I'm in the de-details with the Devil
So now the world can never get me on my level
I just gotta get you off the cage
I'm a young lover's rage
Gonna need a spark to ignite
[Chorus]
But my songs know what you did in the dark
So light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
I'm on fire
So light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
I'm on fire
[Refrain]
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
In the dark, dark
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
In the dark, dark
[Verse 3]
All the writers keep writing what they write
Somewhere another pretty vein just died, died
I've got the scars from tomorrow and I wish you could see
That you're the antidote to everything, except for me, me
Through a constellation of tears on your lashes
Burn everything you love, then burn the ashes
In the end, everything collides
My childhood spat back out the monster that you see
[Chorus]
My songs know what you did in the dark
So light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
I'm on fire
So light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
I'm on fire
[Refrain]
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
In the dark, dark
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
In the dark, dark
[Chorus]
My songs know what you did in the dark
My songs know what you did in the dark
So light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
I'm on fire
So light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
Light 'em up, up, up
I'm on fire
[Outro]
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
In the dark, dark
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
In the dark, dark
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
