[Verse 1] The sunset hit her eyes And made the whole damn sky look ordinary The stars showed up that night But they never stood a chance the void didn’t feel so endless Standing in her light And the echoes in my head Finally felt right [Pre-Chorus] Maybe the poets got it backwards Maybe the curse was never her eyes Maybe it was knowing what would happen And falling for it everytime [Chorus] If you stare into the liiiight You’ll witness something more than beauty You’ll never see the world the same I’d still stare into the liiiight [Verse 2] The leaves fell down in flames With their ashes I could trace the wonder The warmth I thought would stay Had slowly start to fade In the dark there moves a hunger With no name and no face If you ever chose to witness The cost of something great [Pre-Chorus] Maybe the poets got it backwards Maybe the curse was never her eyes Maybe it was knowing what would happen And falling for it every time [Chorus] If you stare into the liiiight You’ll witness something more than beauty You’ll never see the world the same I’d still stare into the liiiight [Bridge] I spent years chasing a ghost Through all the places I left behind Following traces of a shadow To find some piece of mine But it wasn’t your touch I missed Or the color of your eyes It was who I got to be Standing in your light [Final Chorus] If you stare into the liiiight You’ll witness something more than beauty You’ll never see the world the same I’d still stare into the liiiight Oh, I’d still stare into the light Yeah, I’d still stare into the light Even now… I’d still stare into the light
