Lyrics

[Intro]
Ooh
Ooh
[Verse 1]
It's been a while since your smile reached for those eyes
You say you're fine, but I don't think I believe it
You're treading water in a thunderstorm of lies
And lately, you can't shake that sinking feeling
[PreChorus]
Ooh
There's bright on the other side of that blue
[Chorus]
'Cause you and I know
That I could live a lifetime in your light alone
So don't you go and dim it
And if that flame turns to smoke
I know where your heart is
Strike a match, light a candle and curse the darkness
[Bridge]
Ooh
Ooh
[Verse 2]
Remember that beach house that we stayed at in Manzanita?
We sipped on wine and swore we'd change the world
Carefree and naive, not a hundred bucks between us
Hand on a hotel Bible, swear you're still that girl
[PreChorus]
Ooh
There's bright on the other side of that blue
[Chorus]
'Cause you and I know
That I could live a lifetime in your light alone
Darling, don't you go and dim it
And if that flame turns to smoke
I know where your heart is
Strike a match, light a candle and curse the darkness
[Bridge]
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
It's been a while since your smile reached for those eyes
And I'll be right by your side until I see it
[Chorus]
You and I know
That I could live a lifetime in your light alone
Darling, don't you go and dim it
And if that flame turns to smoke
I know where your heart is
Strike a match, light a candle and curse the darkness
Strike a match, light a candle and curse the darkness
