Lyrics

[Verse 1]
See you with a broken heart, brown eyes and baggy jeans
I've been waiting with open arms for something that's calling me
And something is calling me, yeah
He's standing in front of me, yeah
[PreChorus]
I've been reckless, I've been running
From all these good things coming
All the regrets come to nothing
They keep fucking up my head
[Chorus]
(Ooh) Does the light you carry shine on me?
Didn't know, thought it had to be so difficult
(Ooh) Does the light you carry shine on me?
Didn't know, always thought that love was cynical, ah
[Verse 2]
I let go of my absent faith, pick me up, hold my gaze
I met you on the same day of a different life
And something was calling me, yeah
He's standing in front of me, yeah
[PreChorus]
I've been helpless, always wanting
For all these good things coming
But you're right there, never running
Never fucking up my head
[Chorus]
(Ooh) Does the light you carry shine on me?
Didn't know, thought it had to be so difficult
(Ooh) Does the light you carry shine on me?
Didn't know, always thought that love was cynical, ah
[Bridge]
The flag of surrender
It covers me
And I'm just waiting for my boy, I hear him singing from the street
I'll love you forever
Is this how it's supposed to be?
Tell me, does that light you carry ever shine on me? Yeah
[Chorus]
(Ooh) Does the light you carry shine on me?
Didn't know, didn't have to be so difficult
(Ooh) Does the light you carry shine on me?
Didn't know, always thought that love was cynical, cynical (Didn't know)
