That night that you were dressed in white And the world stood still and silent I never felt quite so small And i thought that no one saw it And it all lights up for me We stumbled in the open dark Skipping through the cuts and bruises You were glowing from the very start And we were rising lighter - So why the sad eyes? Why the sad eyes? When it all lights up for me And if you lose direction, Or end up broken I'll fix you with glue and some string For all that's unsung on the tip of your tongue, I can see it from under your skin But to lose your conviction - relief! Slowly the streets will rise up in defeat If the roof falls apart Or we can't leave a mark If our lives never change, Or we keep changing our hearts - You're still all that I need. And it all lights up for me That night that you were dressed in white And the world stood still and silent Spinning through the open dark And we were rising lighter, So why the sad eyes?
