Chase This Light Lyrics

I'm a suspect, I'm a traitor
I'm only here in body visiting
You're the faces in the distant screens
The beauty is in what isn't said
I'm rising to my feet

Because tonight the world turned on me
Because right now I don't dare to breathe

Oh, babe, I know
It's alive
And somewhere for us to find tonight
Chase this light with me

My just world
My last call
My life is yours in your gifted hands
Confetti rain falls in a quiet stream
These things I found are special now
The night is in my reach

Because tonight the world turned on me
Because right now I don't dare to breathe

Oh, babe, I know
It's alive
And somewhere for us to find tonight
Chase this light with me

Movie still, photograph
Through our mother's eyes I can see
I've seen the best of love, the best of hate
The best reward is earned and I paid
For every single word
I've ever said

Confetti rain falls in a quiet stream
The beauty is in what you make it
So get up on your feet

Because tonight the world turned on me
Because right now I don't dare to breathe

Corrected lyrics.

I'm a suspect, I'm a traitor, I'm only here in body visiting. Yellow faces in the distance screams, "The beauty is in what isn't said," I'm rising to my feet,

Because tonight, the world turned in me. Because right now, I don't dare to breathe. Oh, babe, I know, it's alight and somewhere for us to find, Tonight, oh chase this light with me.

My just so, my last call, My life is yours in your gifted hands. Confetti rainfall in a quiet street. These things I've found are special now, The knot is in my reach,

Because tonight, the world turned in me. Because right now, I don't dare to breathe. Oh, babe, I know, it's alight and somewhere for us to find, Tonight, oh chase this light with me.

A movie, still photograph, Through a martyr's eyes can I see, I've seen the best of love, the best of hate, the best reward is earned, And I've paid for every single word I ever said.

Confetti rainfall in a quiet streets. The beauty is in what you make it, So get up on your feet.

Because tonight, the world turned in me, Because right now, I don't dare to breathe. Oh, babe, I know, it's alight and somewhere for us to find, Tonight, oh chase this light with me. Because tonight, the world turned in me. Because right now, I don't dare to breathe. Oh, babe, I know, it's alight and somewhere for us to find, Tonight, chase this light with me.
