Lights
Down To Earth Approach Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So far we run
Knock your hands down, open your eyes
It's not so unnerving
You've been away too long
Knock your guard down, open your arms
Your heart is deserving
Blame me for everything
Your lights sing their own melody

Play games ways games are played

Your lights sing their own melody
