Lights
Fun feat Janelle Monáe Lyrics

Light a roman candle with me
Join me in taking a risk and lighting a Roman candle for some excitement and fun

Just a roman candle, you can wear your sandals
We don't need anything fancy, just a simple Roman candle and comfortable clothes

And I'll pour you just one cup of tea
Let me do something nice for you and offer you a cup of tea

Then you can go and rest
After spending time with me, feel free to relax and take it easy

You haven't seen my best, so
You haven't experienced everything I have to offer yet

Just spend an evening with me
Give me a chance and spend a casual, relaxing evening with me

Just a lazy evening, then you could be leaving
We don't have to commit to anything, just enjoy a laid-back evening and you can leave whenever you want

Or we could stay and talk until three
We could choose to stay up late and have meaningful conversations

I will think it's magic and I'll hope you'll agree, so
I believe that spending time together will be special and hope you feel the same way

Just a perfect apple
Less is more, and even something as simple as a perfect apple can be a joyful experience

If we were honest and both wrote a sonnet together
Let's be open and creative together, and perhaps even write something beautiful

A sandwich with everything on it
Just like adding all the toppings to a sandwich, we can try everything and see what works

At least we would know that the sparks didn't glow
Even if things didn't work out, at least we would know we tried and gave it our all

But we owe it to ourselves to try
We should take risks and try new things, especially when it comes to matters of the heart

So we aim and ignite!
Let's take action and light up our lives with passion and excitement

So often I call and I plead with you: 'Give me a chance!'
I have strong feelings for you and want you to give me a chance to show you how much you mean to me

It's not often that I understand the ins and the outs of what's wrong and what's right
I don't always know what the right thing to do is, but I'm willing to figure it out and make mistakes along the way

So don't think of tomorrow tonight
Let's focus on the present and enjoy the moment instead of worrying about the future

Oh, I know, it goes on, it gets old
I understand that life can be repetitive and dull at times

But for now we're young, we smell good, we're alone
Let's enjoy our youth, our pleasant scents, and our time together

You look for a legend, I'm looking for common ground
You may be searching for something grand and extraordinary, but I'd rather find something simple and meaningful

Your heart isn't breaking, and mine isn't making a sound
Neither of us are heartbroken or particularly emotional right now
