The Light
The Common Kings Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's a little frightening, and it's so like lightning, yeah

I wake up, another morning, time to hit the road
Fresh kicks, new fit, and I'm out the door
High times, no stress, let the good times roll
Guess it was the city, lookin so pretty
It was the front pool flying, throwing back the night to day when I saw a little somethin somethin catchin my eye
Oh, I was feelin the vibe, so I walked up to her and said

Hey, and baby can I get your number cause you hit my heart like thunder
And now I'm singin like hey, girl there's nothing that I'm frightened when you hit my soul like lightning

Tattoo, your kisses all around my neck
Type of girl, no babygirl, hit the deck
You're the only one, only one
Let's head into the crowd, we can party through the night
Underneath the stars like pilots in the sky
Cause you're the only one, and I bet that I walked up to you and said

Hey, and baby can I get your number cause you hit my heart like thunder
And now I'm singin like hey, girl there's nothing that I'm frightened when you hit my soul like lightning

Don't ever leave me in the dark, no
I'm always privy in the light
Any way you go and follow, I give it to you anytime
You really hit me in the heart though, always lookin out of sight
You are everything I'd hope for, and I'm thinkin like

Hey, and baby can I get your number cause you hit my heart like thunder
And now I'm singin like hey, girl there's nothing that I'm frightened when you hit my soul like lightning
