Shine Lyrics

I never really feel quite right and I don't know why, all I know is something's wrong
Every time I look at you, you seem so alive
Tell me how you do it, walk me through it, I'll follow in every footstep
Maybe on your own you take a cautious step
Till you wanna give it up, but all I want is for you to
Shine, shine down on me
Shine on this life that's burnin' out
I say a lot of things sometimes that don't come out right
And I act like I don't know why
I guess a reaction's all I was lookin' for
When you look at through me, you really knew me, no one
Has ever looked before
Maybe on your own you take a cautious step
Till you wanna give it up, but all I want is for you to
Shine, shine down on me
Shine on this life that's burnin' out ( I know , I know, know you got somethin' )
Shine, ( shine it on me ) shine down on me ( I want to feel it )
Shine on this life that's burnin' out

Solo

Maybe on your own you take a cautious step
Till you wanna give up, but all I want is for you to
Shine, shine down on me ( just show me something )
Shine on this life that's burnin' out ( you give me something that I've never known )
Shine ( if you could show me the way ) shine down on me ( I want to know what's going on in your life )
Shine on this life that's burnin' out ( don't you know I want you to )
Shine, shine down on me, Shine on this life that's burnin' out

I never really feel quite right and I don't know why, all I know is something's wrong
Every time I look at you, you seem so alive
Tell me how you do it, walk me through it, I'll follow in every footstep
Maybe on your own you take a cautious step
Till you wanna give it up, but all I want is for you to 
Shine, shine down on me 
Shine on this life that's burnin' out
I say a lot of things sometimes that don't come out right
And I act like I don't know why
I guess a reaction's all I was lookin' for
When you look at through me, you really knew me, no one
Has ever looked before
Maybe on your own you take a cautious step
Till you wanna give it up, but all I want is for you to
Shine, shine down on me
Shine on this life that's burnin' out ( I know , I know, know you got somethin' )
Shine, ( shine it on me ) shine down on me ( I want to feel it )
Shine on this life that's burnin' out

Solo

Maybe on your own you take a cautious step
Till you wanna give up, but all I want is for you to 
Shine, shine down on me ( just show me something )
Shine on this life that's burnin' out ( you give me something that I've never known )
Shine ( if you could show me the way ) shine down on me ( I want to know what's going on in your life )
Shine on this life that's burnin' out ( don't you know I want you to ) 
Shine, shine down on me, Shine on this life that's burnin' out

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is, I think, about a person that isn't doing too good and is relying on somebody else (his/her significant other, perhaps) to guide him/her into the right path.

It's an awesome song that's used as the ending to the anime Hellsing, which it fits surprisingly well.
