White Light lyrics

Vague reflection to stare back like a ghost.

Dropping out to wake with a bolt.

It's all a moment - everything will pass.

Your heart grows from your mistakes.

What's in a number? Twenty-seven years.

Not long enough to learn from your tears.

Not long enough to live with the fear

that you just mightn't be done before your time.

And all of the beauty, all of the pain.

Everything borrowed won't happen again.

And all that's left is love!

White light, shine on a prodigy!

Not yet, unfinished symphony!

I can't breathe! See what you could've been!

You gotta live long enough to learn how to live.

Snapshot, a fading Polaroid

of a girl, too sensitive a soul.

This flash is blinding, your hand over your eyes.

Don't wanna see, can't take the glare.

Of all of the beauty, all of the pain.

Everything borrowed won't happen again.

And all that's left is love!

White light, shine on a prodigy!

Not yet, unfinished symphony!

I can't breathe! See what you could've been!

You gotta live long enough to learn how to live.

Curtain fade into memory!

Too young, wasted tragedy!

Turn back, be who you'll only be,

when you live long enough to learn how to live.

(Gotta live long enough to learn how to live...)

(Gotta live long enough to learn how to live...)

(Gotta live long enough to learn how to live...)

You gotta live long enough to learn how to live.

White light, shine on a prodigy!

Not yet, unfinished symphony!

I can't breathe! See what you could've been!

You gotta live long enough to learn how to live.

White light, shine on a prodigy!

Not yet, unfinished symphony!

I can't breathe! See what you could've been!

You gotta live long enough to learn how to live.

Curtain fade into memory!

Too young, wasted tragedy!

Turn back, be who you'll only be,

when you live long enough to learn how to live.

White light!
