[Verse 1]
Bang bang
The gun rang in my head again
The light it shines
Nobody sees it
Are birds circling over my head yet?
Their bitter pattern
It draws my halo
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Here you're light as a ghost
On my mind you weigh the most
Like a country at war
Trading towns and keeping score
[Chorus]
I can see your head in the crowd
Like the sun through the clouds
You're always turning me inside out
But it falls through the cracks in the glass
When you move it too fast
And the time, it turns inside out
But the moral isn't lost on me
I know I'll never see
The light
[Verse 2]
Ding dong
The wrong song in my brain again
I know who'll be at the door
Spin, spin
End up right back where I begin
The record shatters on the floor
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Pre-Chorus 2]
There's a love in my mind
It's a different but familiar kind
There's a kiss in the cup
But who'll be there to pick it up?
[Chorus]
I can see your head in the crowd
Like the sun through the clouds
You're always turning me inside out
But it falls through the cracks in the glass
When you move it too fast
And the time, it turns inside out
But the moral isn't lost on me
I know I'll never see
The light
[Bridge]
If I was brave
If I was stronger
Would you hold the candle longer?
If I burnt it to the ground
If I fall do I make a sound?
If I hit you from the south
Would it almost shut your mouth?
For he who wears the crown
Your head is heavy now
[Pre-Chorus 3]
Here you're light is a ghost
In my mind you weigh the most
And a kiss in the cup
You'll be there to pick it up
[Chorus]
I can see your head in the crowd
Like the sun through the clouds
You're always turning me inside out
But it falls through the cracks in the glass
When you move it too fast
And the time, it turns inside out
But the moral isn't lost on me
I know I'll never see
The light
