I'll sing it one last time for you
then we really have to go
you've been the only thing that's right
in all I've done

And I can barely look at you
but every single time I do
I know we'll make it any where
away from here

Light up, light up
as if you have a choice
even if you can not hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder, louder
and we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
why you can't raise your voice to say

To think I might not see those eyes
makes it so hard not to cry
and as we say our long goodbyes
I nearly do

Light up, light up
as if you have a choice
even if you can not hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear

Louder, louder
and we'll run for our lives
I can hardly speak I understand
why you can't raise your voice to say

Slower, slower
we don't have time for that
all I want is to find an easier way
to get out of our little heads

Have heart, my dear
we're bound to be afraid
even if it's just for a few days
making up for all this mess

Light up, light up
as if you have a choice
even if you can not hear my voice
I'll be right beside you dear
