White Light

Vague reflection, to stare back like a ghost
Dropping out to wake with a bolt
It's all a moment, everything will pass
Your heart grows from your mistakes

What's in a number? 27 years
Not long enough to learn from your tears
Not long enough to live with the fear
That you just mightn't be done before your time

And all of the beauty
All of the pain (all of the pain)
Everything borrowed
Won't happen again
And all that's left is love

White light, shine on a prodigy
Not yet, unfinished symphony
I can't breathe, I see what you could've been
You've gotta live long enough to learn how to live

Snapshot, a fading Polaroid
Of a girl, too sensitive a soul
This flash is blinding, your hand over your eye
Don't wanna see, can't take the glare

Of all of the beauty
All of the pain (all of the pain)
Everything borrowed
Won't happen again
And all that's left is love

White light, shine on a prodigy
Not yet, unfinished symphony
I can't breathe, see what you could've been
You've gotta live long enough to learn how to live

Curtain fade into memory
Too young wasted a tragedy
Turn back, be who you'll only be
When you live long enough to learn how to live

Gotta live long enough to learn how to live
Gotta live long enough to learn how to live
Gotta live long enough to learn how to live
You gotta live long enough to learn how to live

White light, shine on a prodigy
Not yet, unfinished symphony
I can't breathe, see what you could've been
You've gotta live long enough to learn how to live (learn how to live)

White light, shine on a prodigy (shine)
Not yet, unfinished symphony
I can't breathe (I can't breathe), see what you could've been
You've gotta live long enough to learn how to live (learn how to live)

Curtain fade into memory
Too young (too young), wasted a tragedy
Turn back (turn back), be who you'll only be
When you live long enough to learn how to live
