Lighting Up
Clav Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sometimes it’s magic right out of the gate
Pull it out of thin air
Just keep me wild; no such thing as mistakes
I promise I’m’a be there

Days turn to nights
And the nights see it all
Be ready to go when I call

I’m hangin’ on a feeling
There’s something different ’bout this time
My hope’s up to the ceiling
Got me lightin’ up like
Like sparklers

Got me lightin’ up

Know how to read me beginning to end
Still keep you on your toes
No hiding what’s real; I just can’t pretend
’Cause either way it goes

Days turn to nights
And the nights see it all
I’m ready to go when you call

I’m hangin’ on a feeling
There’s something different ’bout this time
My hope’s up to the ceiling
Got me lightin’ up like
Like sparklers





Got me lightin’ up
