Shine Lyrics
I remember us alone
Waiting for the light to go
Don't you feel that hunger?
I've got so many secrets to show
When I saw you on that stage
I shivered with the look you gave
Don't you hear that rhythm?
Can you show me how we can escape?
Ooh oh oh oh, ooh oh oh ooh
I was biting my tongue
I was trying to hide
Ooh oh oh oh, ooh oh oh ooh
I'll forget what I've done
I'll be redefined
It's shaking the sky
And I'm following lightning
I'll recover if you keep me alive
Don't leave me behind
Can you see me? I'm shining
And it's you that I've been waiting to find
I'm holding it all tonight
I'm folding it all tonight
You know that you make it shine
It's you that I've been waiting to find
I'm holding it all tonight
I'm folding it all tonight
You know that you make it shine
It's you that I've been waiting to find
Now that we can hear that sound
Now that you can pull me down
You can pull me under
You can raise everything to the ground
Every thing I can arrange
Every part of me, you change
Just hold me together
Tell me you'll always want me to stay
Ooh oh oh oh, ooh oh oh ooh
I was biting my tongue
I was trying to hide
Ooh oh oh oh, ooh oh oh ooh
I'll forget what I've done
I'll be redefined
It's shaking the sky
And I'm following lightning
I'll recover if you keep me alive
Don't leave me behind
Can you see me? I'm shining
And it's you that I've been waiting to find
I wanna be the one you steal
I wanna be the one you shield
I wanna be the one that your love, that your love can heal
I wanna be the one you steal
I wanna be the one you shield
I wanna be the one that you'll love, that you'll love
It's shaking the sky
And I'm following lightning
I'll recover if you keep me alive
Don't leave me behind
Can you see me? I'm shining
And it's you that I've been waiting to find
I'm holding it all tonight
I'm folding it all tonight
You know that you make it shine
It's you that I've been waiting to find
It's you that I've been waiting to find
It's you that I've been waiting to find
Waiting for the light to go
Don't you feel that hunger?
I've got so many secrets to show
When I saw you on that stage
I shivered with the look you gave
Don't you hear that rhythm?
Can you show me how we can escape?
I was biting my tongue
I was trying to hide
Ooh oh oh oh, ooh oh oh ooh
I'll forget what I've done
I'll be redefined
And I'm following lightning
I'll recover if you keep me alive
Don't leave me behind
Can you see me? I'm shining
And it's you that I've been waiting to find
I'm folding it all tonight
You know that you make it shine
It's you that I've been waiting to find
I'm folding it all tonight
You know that you make it shine
It's you that I've been waiting to find
Now that you can pull me down
You can pull me under
You can raise everything to the ground
Every thing I can arrange
Every part of me, you change
Just hold me together
Tell me you'll always want me to stay
I was biting my tongue
I was trying to hide
Ooh oh oh oh, ooh oh oh ooh
I'll forget what I've done
I'll be redefined
And I'm following lightning
I'll recover if you keep me alive
Don't leave me behind
Can you see me? I'm shining
And it's you that I've been waiting to find
I wanna be the one you shield
I wanna be the one that your love, that your love can heal
I wanna be the one you steal
I wanna be the one you shield
I wanna be the one that you'll love, that you'll love
And I'm following lightning
I'll recover if you keep me alive
Don't leave me behind
Can you see me? I'm shining
And it's you that I've been waiting to find

You know that you make it shine
It's you that I've been waiting to find
It's you that I've been waiting to find
It's you that I've been waiting to find

Considering the name of the album is Communion, there seems to be a recurring theme of god evoking imagery.
"It's shaking the sky"
"You can pull me under You can raise everything to the ground"
"I was biting my tongue I was trying to hide" (this line reminded me of the Adam and Eve story where they are hiding from God.)
"I'll recover if you keep me alive" (immediately reminded me of the famous line from Matthew "only say the word and my soul shall be healed")
It seems that whoever the song is about is like a God to the writer. No, I definitely don't think this whole album was supposed to be about a literal God. More like the things we treat as gods. Such as drugs in the song King, also in this album. In this instance, I interpreted it to be a lover.
