Lights - Face Up Lyrics

Genre: Rock

It's late and I am tired, wish I could spark a smile
The place is flying high but right now I want to be low
Don't want to move an inch, let alone a million miles
And I don't want to go but I know I gotta go

I just want to feel alive

The times you don't want to wake up
'Cause in your sleep it's never over when you give up
The sun is always going to rise up
You need to get up, gotta keep your head up
Look at the people all around you
The way you feel is something everybody goes through
Dark out, but you still gotta light up
You need to wake up, gotta keep your face up

Seems like the more you grow, the more time you spend alone
Before you know it you end up perfectly on your own
City's shining bright, but you don't see the light
How come you concentrate on things that don't make you feel right

I just want to feel alright

The times you don't want to wake up
'Cause in your sleep it's never over when you give up
The sun is always going to rise up
You need to get up, gotta keep your head up
Look at the people all around you
The way you feel is something everybody goes through
Dark out, but you still gotta light up
You need to wake up, gotta keep your face up

I'm looking for more than a little bit
I'm gonna have to find my way through it
Gonna leave a mark, I'm gonna set a spark
I'm coming up off the ground
I won't be looking down

What the last guy said lol

seriously though, Lights is like a breath of fresh air, her voice mixed with soft electronica is heavenly, such soothing music, a great example of the re-emerging 'electropop' genre, she deserves to be at the forefront, The Listening is a great debut album, if a bit dated, considering her old hit songs such as Drive My Soul are included on it
