Illuminate - Elise Trouw

You know that we both play the

games that make us different from them

The edges of our lips bend into

endless patterns.

And even though we couldn’t be

forever I still feel an actual connection.

Reality stands behind us,

teasing the child inside of me.

Stand up, and think straight,

'til we both fall in love again

My heart’s mistake

Days in, nights out,

'til we both know we’re lost again

Your love illuminates.

They think they know what’s best

so they just call this puppy love

But I’ve seen a million others falling

down this rabbit hole

And it’s not because we’re young,

no one knows the difference

Between the wanting and affection.

Can’t help but question the bitter

people who don’t know how to feel.

Stand up, and think straight,

'til we both fall in love again

My heart’s mistake

Days in, nights out,

'til we both know we’re lost again

Your love illuminates.

Don’t tell me I haven’t lived yet.

I am alive and this is real.

Stand up, and think straight,

'til we both fall in love again

My heart’s mistake

Days in, nights out,

'til we both know we’re lost again

Your love illuminates.

Your love illuminates.

Your love illuminates.

Your love illuminates.
