Light Survives
{ words & music by Simon Spire }
I could never have seen
What love would mean oh no
I could never have known
The price would be total, no
I would never have thought
I’d choose to surrender
I would never have known
That love is a fall that goes
*
On and on and on, never leaving here till you’re gone
Leaving everything of me behind
Take a little more, go ahead you can melt it all
And nothing but your light survives
*
There’s nothing else to do
But let you have me
I can’t run away from you
It’s already ridiculed everything I knew
I’m starting to feel love is
Hollowing me through
So much bigger than me, it goes
*
On and on and on, never leaving here till you’re gone
Leaving everything of me behind
Take a little more, go ahead you can melt it all
And nothing but your light survives
On and on and on, never leaving here till you’re gone
Leaving everything of me to die
Taking all I got, taking all I am, till it’s gone
There’s nowhere left to hide
*
I’ve been holding on
I’ve been holding on
I’ve been holding on until I cannot stop the fall
*
Into the heart of it all, there’s nowhere left to hide
Into the darkness I fall, and leave myself behind
Love doesn’t wait till it’s safe, to blow it all away
Leaving itself in your place, and nothing else remains
*
On and on and on, never leaving here till you’re gone
Leaving everything of me behind
Take a little more, go ahead you can melt it all
And nothing but your light survives
I had it all together before love, yeah, I, had it all down and wise I was but,
The deeper it goes, the deeper it hurts, the deeper it shows – it shows
*
And I’ve been holding on
