Shine A Light - Paolo Nutini

You were born in a small town Always had dreams bigger than your brother, you know Hit the road where it forks down Make a decision, start from the gutter Big city lights, fast lane livin' But you never forgot your roots, oh-oh-oh Back in time, daddy's advice Baby don't forget that you... Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Everywhere you go Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light With everyone you know Shine a light Shine a light You have struggled before, now And each time you made it out the other side Pick yourself up when you fall down Stand tall and never be afraid to cry Big city life, same thing different time Darlin' don't forget your roots, well Back in time, mama's advice Baby don't forget that you... Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Everywhere you go Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light With everyone you know Shine a light, yeah Shine a light People laugh and people cry People live and people die But I'll never meet another life like you 'Cause every day and every night Teachin' you wrong from right Now you get to shine a light don't you Don't you Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Everywhere you go Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Let everybody know Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Everywhere you go Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light Shine a light With everyone you know Shine a light Shine a light (Hey) You were born in a small town

Late at night alone I was hoping you would show Just waiting for you Try to catch a laugh Out here on my own There ain't nowhere else to go I've checked in all the places you could hide Late at night alone I was hoping you would come from behind Cause I don't want to stay Out here on my own I was hoping you would show up behind We're headed the same way It's all I want It's all from dreaming To keep you here forever If I ever ride alone I would never let go Or everyone could see how hard I tried I've never been so bold But these feelings gotta go I've never could a dream pass me by The truth has now unfold Shine a light And lead me back away The story's now told The curtains unfold Make it by and make sure that it stays

You put your faith in something beautiful Sell your reflection to the traveling show We leave ourselves a lot to answer for I've left myself and now I wanna go home And up there in your treehouse Pigs and politicians go bump in the night It'll take more than a superman To make us think that everything's alright And there's nothing on the radio They're all talking like they're falling in love Oh there's nothing on the radio And then it hits me like a fist from above I'm singing I, I, I, I want love, I want love I, I, I, I want love, I want love (I, I, I, I, I, I) We half remember all the promises we made But they're like white noise to us now We light our match and walk away beside ourselves And it's easy, mhmm These days are written on our face And in the faith that we can change this script tonight You'll know me better than I'll ever know myself If you see me, make it easy on me Nothing on the radio They're all talking like they're falling in love Oh there's nothing on the radio Then it hits me like a fist from above I'm singing I, I, I, I want love, I want love I, I, I, I want love, I want love You'd better get here soon You'd better get here soon You'd better get here soon There's nothing on the radio They're all talking like they're falling in love Oh there's nothing on the radio And then it hits me like a fist from above I'm singing I, I, I, I want love, I want love I, I, I, I want love, I want love I, I, I, I want love, I want love I, I, I I want love

I don't have much luck these days With far too much time Lost a lot of my rhythm In this bubble of mine I would sure like to help you I will give you my word Then I'II fly away, brother Float away like a bird You don't get much dignity You don't get much sense of pride When your mind gets too narrow And your nose gets too wide I breathe and I'm tryin' In my cauldron tonight Though a part of me's dyin' There's a part come alive 'Cause I had a dream last night That you were beside me Two kids in the garden And your love behind me Though today may taste bitter Maybe tomorrow is gold Lord, I wanna get happy Before I get old So I took out some paper And I dug out a pen Poured myself out some water And I rinsed out the gin I spoke of my dream that night In the greatest detail Of my beautiful children And my sweet Abigail Ah, but before she can find me Before I can let her in Before no sweet happy endin' Let the battle begin Let the trumpets blow Valhalla Let the soldier arise Lord, let Abigail catch me When I fall from the skies 'Cause I had a dream last night That you were beside me Two kids in the garden And all this behind me Though today may taste bitter Maybe tomorrow is gold Lord, I wanna get happy Before I get old Lord, I wanna get happy Before I get old Lord, I wanna get happy Before I get old

Pickin up the pieces Of the wreck you went and left And I'm dealing with dilemmas In my now-so-stressful life And I'm drinking stronger spirits I made my home here on the floor And I'm losing all ambition and goals And I'm going all out And I'm thinking you're just as bad No sleeping at night But I'm going from bar to bar Why can't we just rewind Why can't we just rewind Why can't we just rewind Oh remember at 16 Oh the crazy drunken night we had When I kissed you in the hallway Then I took you straight to bed Well two years on And I'm still that same boy And I'm not sleeping at night But I'm going from bar to bar Why can't we just rewind Why can't we just rewind Why can't we just rewind oh No sleeping at night But I'm going from bar to bar Why can't we just rewind Why can't we just rewind Why can't we just rewind oh You might blame it on me But you persisted that we fall Wiped your hands of me And said you needed more, more, more And I'm not sleeping at night But I'm going from bar to bar Why can't we just rewind Why can't we just rewind Why can't we just rewind oh And I'm not sleeping at night But I'm going from bar to bar Why can't we just rewind Why can't we just rewind Why can't we just rewind oh Wo woah woah woah Wo woah woah woah Wo wo woah Can't we just rewind
