The Things He Carried - Vanna

Light it up

A flash so thin

Through a sky so grey

Look away

Our faces turned

It’s a plea to the ear

It’s a walk to my hands

It’s a fall to my feet

To find sympathy

Now you’re lost

In the dark

And nowhere to be found

But I know you’ll be waiting there for us

His fortunes

Our futures at hand

We light

Light up like cities in the night

Light this

Like a happy scene

It’s a set

It’s all it takes

To trick our eyes

And fabricate

Honest

Honest goodbyes

Now you’re lost

In the dark

And nowhere to be found

But I know you’ll be waiting there for us

Our lives light up at times like these

At times

Our lives

Light up like cities in the night

His fortunes

Our futures at hand

We light

Light up like cities in the night

Like rivers

We splinter

You don’t have to leave

Run away with me
