It's been a while since your smile reached for those eyes
You say you're fine but I don't think I believe it
You're treading water in a thunderstorm of lies
And lately you can't shake that sinking feeling

Ooh
There's bright on the other side of that blue

You and I know
That I could live a lifetime in your light alone
So don't you go and dim it
And if that flame
Turns to smoke
I know where your heart is
Strike a match
Light a candle
And curse the darkness

Remember that beach house that we stayed at in manzanita
We sipped on wine and swore we'd change the world
Carefree and naive not a hundred bucks between us
Hand on a hotel bible swear you're still that girl

Ooh
There's bright on the other side of that blue

'Cause you and I know
That I could live a lifetime in your light alone
Darling don't you go and dim it
And if that flame
Turns to smoke
I know where your heart is
Strike a match
Light a candle
And curse the darkness

It's been a while since your smile reached for those eyes
And I'll be right by your side until I see it

You and I know
That I could live a lifetime in your light alone
Darling don't you go and dim it
And if that flame
Turns to smoke
I know where your heart is
Strike a match
Light a candle
And curse the darkness

Strike a match
Light a candle
And curse the darkness
