[00:10.32] You see, the truth is, that I am simply useless
[00:14.54] At finding the right words to say.
[00:18.41] And your fingers are frozen to notes you have chosen,
[00:23.38] Letting the tune slip away.
[00:27.49] When you shine so bright, I can feel our eyes collide.
[00:35.36] Soon you'll realize, why waste time?
[00:40.47] Your heart strings a cord in mine,
[00:44.94] So pull me up to your side.
[00:49.60] We will be alright.
[00:52.16] You might be my lifelight.
[00:55.64]
[00:55.73] And just hold still,
[00:58.70] Hang by your windowsill.
[01:03.18] And all of this music will
[01:07.72] Still be that in sight, you might be my lifelight.
[01:14.62]
[01:22.77] Cover in caution in waves of distortion,
[01:26.93] Your movements give you away.
[01:31.01] And I'll bring you roses, wrote poetry proses,
[01:36.03] And prize you apart from your day.
[01:39.46]
[01:39.70] 'Cause when you shine so bright, I can feel our eyes collide.
[01:48.12] Soon you'll realize, why waste time?
[01:52.97] Your heart strings a cord in mine,
[01:57.58] So pull me up to your side.
[02:02.12] And we will be alright,
[02:04.68] You might be my lifelight
[02:08.03]
[02:08.16] And just hold still,
[02:11.23] Hang by your windowsill
[02:15.71] And all of this music will
[02:20.88] Still be that in sight, you might be my lifelight.
[02:28.18]
[02:28.33] 'Cause I'm caught in this carousel,
[02:32.87] Too tongue-tied to ever tell
[02:37.45] I'm just circling around in the dark.
[02:41.38]
[02:45.06] Why waste time?
[02:48.10] Your heart strings a cord in mine,
[02:52.64] So pull me up to your side.
[02:57.19] And we will be alright,
[02:59.85] You might be my lifelight.
[03:02.96]
[03:03.15] And just hold still,
[03:06.26] Hang by your windowsill.
[03:10.73] And all of this music will
[03:15.35] Still be that in sight, you might,
[03:19.15] You might realize.
[03:21.32] (why waste time?)
[03:23.99] That if I am right,
[03:26.11] In time, you might be my lifelight.
[03:31.46]
