Alight Lyrics

You were talking about moving to the west coast

About leaving the lone star for the golden state

My California is full of ghosts

And I guess you're just another one that haunts me from time to time

You stayed late at my house that night

After all of my friends had left

And you know how much I love you

So you stay as late as you want

And I opened your letter put it in my box

Your smile lights up the room

Even the darkest of rooms you're there

And suddenly it's all

Beautiful

My friends were talking about you

They say you've gotten hot but you've always been

We're looking out with your telescope

You see the stars and all the light

I just see the darkness

You're kinda crazy

But I guess I love that about you

And you're blind but you're kind

You always mean well

And you sat there in that coffee shop

Saying that I never call you enough

But did you know that if I pick up the phone

I'll fall back in and I won't get out

And you meant the whole world to me

You were the whole library

But I think that I was just a book

All worn out and up on the shelf

You pick me up in your car

It's 10:30 on a Saturday

You pick me up in your car
