summer, it flashed like lightning
so bright, but so gone now
we were dreaming, we were wide awake
trying to hold it all together
when our whole damn world's gone insane
and my eyes are burning, my body's shaking
it's late but we're laughing, if you don't mind waiting
we'll keep it all open, our eyes wide open
it's a half-lit world for a boy and girl
and something is always playing with the light
we were so new then, who'd we think we were fooling?
look at us now, still got no idea what we're doing
but little light, there must be more
so why the ones you try and talk to, they keep eyeing the door?
my eyes are burning, my body's shaking
it's late but we're laughing, so close to breaking
we'll keep it all open, our eyes wide open
it's a half-lit world for a boy and girl
and something is always playing with the light
my eyes are burning, my body's shaking
it's late but we're laughing, so close to breaking
we'll keep it all open, our eyes wide open
it's a half-lit world for a boy and girl
and something is always playing with the light
