Light Me Up
Over and over in my head, still spinning
I took the fall and you went missing
Colder and colder but I kept swimming
Upstream and for no good reason
Now that I'm old you'd think I'd learn my lesson
But I can't commit to the convalescence
All that it shows is a misdirection
Upstream into nothing
You used to beat, beat, beat me like a drum
Now I'm a song that you rarely hum
You can beat, beat, beat me 'til I'm numb
'Til I'm black and blue, 'til I'm out of blood
Light me up, I'm a cheap cigarette
Blow me out with your one last breath
Said you hate the taste
What did you expect when you light me up like a cheap cigarette?
Over and over in my head still spinning
I said it all but you don't listen
Colder and colder but we kept swimming
Upstream into nothing
You used to beat, beat, beat me like a drum
Now I'm a song that you rarely hum
You can beat, beat, beat me 'til I'm numb
'Til I'm black and blue, 'til I'm out of blood
Light me up, I'm a cheap cigarette
Blow me out with your one last breath
Said you hate the taste
What did you expect when you light me up like a cheap cigarette?
Beat, beat, beat me like a drum (drum)
Beat, beat, beat me 'til I'm numb (numb)
Light me up, I'm a cheap cigarette
Blow me out with your one last breath
Said you hate the taste
What did you expect when you light me up like a cheap cigarette?
Light me up, I'm a cheap cigarette
Blow me out with your one last breath
Said you hate the taste
What did you expect when you light me up like a cheap cigarette?
Over and over in my head still spinning
(When you light me up like a cheap cigarette)
Over and over in my head still spinning
(When you light me up) like a cheap cigarette
I took the fall and you went missing
Colder and colder but I kept swimming
Upstream and for no good reason
Now that I'm old you'd think I'd learn my lesson
But I can't commit to the convalescence
All that it shows is a misdirection
Upstream into nothing
You used to beat, beat, beat me like a drum
Now I'm a song that you rarely hum
You can beat, beat, beat me 'til I'm numb
'Til I'm black and blue, 'til I'm out of blood
Light me up, I'm a cheap cigarette
Blow me out with your one last breath
Said you hate the taste
What did you expect when you light me up like a cheap cigarette?
Over and over in my head still spinning
I said it all but you don't listen
Colder and colder but we kept swimming
Upstream into nothing
You used to beat, beat, beat me like a drum
Now I'm a song that you rarely hum
You can beat, beat, beat me 'til I'm numb
'Til I'm black and blue, 'til I'm out of blood
Light me up, I'm a cheap cigarette
Blow me out with your one last breath
Said you hate the taste
What did you expect when you light me up like a cheap cigarette?
Beat, beat, beat me like a drum (drum)
Beat, beat, beat me 'til I'm numb (numb)
Light me up, I'm a cheap cigarette
Blow me out with your one last breath
Said you hate the taste
What did you expect when you light me up like a cheap cigarette?
Light me up, I'm a cheap cigarette
Blow me out with your one last breath
Said you hate the taste
What did you expect when you light me up like a cheap cigarette?
Over and over in my head still spinning
(When you light me up like a cheap cigarette)
Over and over in my head still spinning
(When you light me up) like a cheap cigarette
