One year, nine months and eight days
I've waited for more than I have to say
Time waits for no man, yet it waits for you

Light up my life
Sing when it hurts,
And it's over
(Take the pain away)
Sing when it hurts,
And it'd over
(Take the pain away)

Well, I'm scared of forgetting it all,
And holding out for a little more
You burn leaves,
Anything they want, you do
We're chasing heights that we'll never reach
In love with something that will never be
I'm sinking, first in line to keep amused
Amused

Light up my life
Sing when it hurts,
And it's over
(Take the pain away)
Sing when it hurts,
And it's over
(Take the pain away)
Sing when it hurts,
And it's over
(Take the pain away)

We're coming home, when it's over

I can't shake these safety numbers and,
Wasting all your promises on me
To enjoy a simple life

Sing when it hurts,
And it's over
(Take the pain away)
Sing when it hurts,
And it's over
(Take the pain away)
Sing when it hurts,
And it's over
(Take the pain away)

We're coming home when it's over
