shine On
Mathias Anderle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She walks a few feet off the ground
Sparks fly, electrifying air
Got chills, but when I turn around
She disappears like she was never there
If love's supposed to hit like lighting
From above, then it just struck
But it's gonna shine on
Fallin' in, I'm fallin' up
Crazy diamond in the rough
She's what I'm talkin' about
And what I'm talkin' about is love
Kiss me light so I can see
When the stars go out on me
She's all I need to shine
Shine on, shine on
(Shine on, shine on)
Shine on, shine on
(Shine on, shine on)
Never turn it off
Just on the verge of a breakdown
Melt down, too much heat in this crazy town
But I've got something to ride home about
Right now
She fell for me, impossibly
Or could this all be in my mind?
Just the thought is fine
Still we're gonna shine on
Fallin' in, I'm fallin' up
Crazy diamond in the rough
She's what I'm talkin' about
And what I'm talkin' about is love
Kiss me light so I can see
When the stars go out on me
She's all I need to shine
Shine on, shine on
(Shine on, shine on)
Shine on, shine on
(Shine on, shine on)
Never turn it off
Every time that I get a look at her face
It's like it came from a higher place
Nothing can stop the way we shine on
And even when the lights are fading fast
I know the feeling is gonna last
Nothing can stop the way we shine on
Fallin' in, I'm fallin' up
Crazy diamond in the rough
She's what I'm talkin' about
And what I'm talkin' about is love
Kiss me light so I can see
When the stars go out on me
She's all I need to shine
Shine on, shine on
(Shine on, shine on)
Shine on, shine on
(Shine on, shine on)
Shine on, shine on
(Shine on, shine on)
Shine on, shine on

Line by Line Meaning
She walks a few feet off the ground
She's got a spark and joy that makes her feel like she's floating in the air
Sparks fly, electrifying air
There's an intangible energy around her that feels electric
Got chills, but when I turn around
There's an intensity to her presence that gives me goosebumps
She disappears like she was never there
But just as quickly as she appeared, she's gone without a trace
If love's supposed to hit like lighting
Love is often sudden and dramatic, like a lightning bolt from the sky
From above, then it just struck
And that's exactly what happened to me - love struck me out of nowhere
It lit me up and now I'm gone
Love lifted me up and took me away from my normal life
But it's gonna shine on
But no matter what happens, the light of our love will continue to shine
Fallin' in, I'm fallin' up
I'm falling in love, and it feels like I'm rising higher and higher
Crazy diamond in the rough
She's a unique and rare gem, one that I'm grateful to have found
She's what I'm talkin' about
She's the one I'm telling everyone about, the one who's captured my heart
And what I'm talkin' about is love
And the thing that's captured my heart is love
Kiss me light so I can see
When we're together, she brightens up my whole world
When the stars go out on me
Even in the darkest moments, she's always there to light up my life
She's all I need to shine
I don't need anything else as long as I have her - she's enough to make me shine
Never turn it off
And I never want to let that light go out - I want to keep it shining forever
Just on the verge of a breakdown
Sometimes life gets overwhelming and I feel like I'm about to fall apart
Melt down, too much heat in this crazy town
It can feel like the world is too chaotic and I can't handle it
But I've got something to ride home about
But then I remember her and how much she means to me - she's something that makes it all worth it
Right now
In this moment, I feel hopeful and positive
She fell for me, impossibly
It seems impossible that someone as amazing as her could love me, but she does
Or could this all be in my mind?
Sometimes I wonder if it's too good to be true - if I'm imagining it all
Just the thought is fine
But even if it is in my mind, just thinking about her and our love is enough to make me happy
Every time that I get a look at her face
Every time I see her, my heart swells with love and joy
It's like it came from a higher place
Her love feels like it's something more than just human - it's divine
Nothing can stop the way we shine on
No matter what obstacles we face, our love will continue to shine and light up the world
And even when the lights are fading fast
Even when things are tough and it seems like everything is going wrong
I know the feeling is gonna last
I know that the love and joy she brings me will endure and keep me going
Shine on, shine on
No matter what happens, we're going to keep shining and brightening up each other's lives
