Glowing

(альбом: Superluminal - 2023)

Never let go of the way that a small town feels when the sun's down
A gentle glow from the lamp posts lining the streets
'Cause I didn't know that the grey in the air after a heavy rain
Could kill off stars so easily, a flicker dying under the sheets

It's alright to hold onto what feels safe
But it just feels so right to stay out when it gets late
As long as you can keep on glowing
All this light is overflowing
Radiating over you, just like the moon
Lit by the sun of someone else's noon

It's a hell of a way to start
Whenever you tend to depend on that funny feeling
In your gut when you're young
So you run through the dark
Careless of what's hiding around the bend the way
You don't seem to feel anything
Putting matches out on your tongue

Ignite, you're wading through the haze
While I stay up each night
To make sense of empty space
So tell me how you keep on glowing
All this light is overflowing
Radiating over you, just like the moon
Lit by the sun of someone else's noon

If I could let go of the need to stay closely behind when you're near me
I'd gently glow in my own way and light up the street
I wish I could show that the brighter you shine the darker it seems for
Everything else surrounding you, just far enough out of reach

So tell me how you keep on glowing
All this light is overflowing
Radiating over you, just like the moon
Lit by the sun of someone else's noon
