Lyrics to Lighted Up

what comes to mind today

is where i was before

sitting lonely trying to stay so drunk

waiting for somebody to leave open some door



tuesday came and went as quickly as expected

didn't notice that i needed it to stay

and you know sometimes i need to be neglected

sometimes love looks good in gray



and i believe

somewhere there's a vision in the dark

but i can't see

unless there's someone there with a spark



to keep me lighted up

to keep me lighted up

to keep me lighted up

to keep me lighted up



now you're back in dc

and i'm in los angeles again

the cold wind grips you like a fist

and the spotlight here is not my friend



but i believe

sometimes there's a need for separation

and i can't say

i need to find another way



to keep me lighted up



and i believe

somehow there's a prism in the dark

and i can't see

unless it's you there with a spark



you keep me lighted up
