My Songs... (Light Em Up) [Acoustic at KROQ Red Bull Sound Space]
Be careful making wishes in the dark Can’t be sure when they’ve hit their mark And besides, in the mean, meantime I’m just dreaming of tearing you apart I’m in the details with the devil No, the world can never get me on my level I just got to get you out the cage I’m a young lover’s rage Gonna need a spark to ignite
[Bridge] My songs know what you did in the dark
So light ‘em up, up, up Light ‘em up, up, up Light ‘em up, up, up I’m on fire So light ‘em up, up, up Light ‘em up, up, up Light ‘em up, up, up I’m on fire
All the writers keep writing what they write Somewhere another pretty vein just dies I’ve got the scars from tomorrow and I wish you could see That you’re the antidote to everything except for me A constellation of tears on your lashes Burn everything you love, then burn the ashes In the end everything collides My childhood spat back out the monster that you see
[Bridge] My songs know what you did in the dark
So light ‘em up, up, up Light ‘em up, up, up Light ‘em up, up, up I’m on fire So light ‘em up, up, up Light ‘em up, up, up Light ‘em up, up, up I’m on fire
Light it up… I’m so hot I’m gettin’ head in a fire truck She like when I buy her stuff No strings attached, she want me to tie her up She asked how much money I got, I told her not enough “Do Not Disturb” sign on my hotel So many girls on my coattails I told ‘em it’s a new day, a new wave, get it Told her “turn over, I got a new way to hit it” So I gotta get it – I ain’t lyin’ to you, stand close to me I put fire to you, self medication I take one to the head, and I ain’t chasin’ nothin’
So light ‘em up, up, up Light ‘em up, up, up Light ‘em up, up, up I’m on fire So light ‘em up, up, up Light ‘em up, up, up Light ‘em up, up, up I’m on fire
