I Took a Little Light

I Took a Little Light lyrics

Verse 1

You looked right through me
Like I was paid to be there
I wore the smile you wanted
And it still felt fake
Your hands on my waist
But your eyes on the room
I learned that kind of longing
Can taste like doom

Pre-Chorus

So I kept dancing
Kept my face half-lit
If I looked like a dream
Would you call me it?

Chorus

I took a little light
And it still felt cold
I took a little light
But it never told
I took a little light
Now I know the joke
Everybody wants the girl
When the glass runs low

Verse 2

You said I looked expensive
Like the kind that stays
But I knew by the second song
You were already gone away
There was salt on my collar
And glitter on my skin
I was trying to feel chosen
In a room built thin

Pre-Chorus

So I kept dancing
Kept my face half-lit
If I looked like a dream
Would you call me it?

Chorus

I took a little light
And it still felt cold
I took a little light
But it never told
I took a little light
Now I know the joke
Everybody wants the girl
When the glass runs low

Bridge

And maybe I was reaching
For a name I could wear
Something bright for the photo
Something soft for the air
But the spell broke easy
At the edge of the dawn
I was still just me
When the music was gone

I took a little light
And it still felt cold
I took a little light
But it never told
I took a little light
Now I know the joke
Everybody wants the girl
When the glass runs low

Outro

Everybody wants the girl
When the glass runs low
Everybody wants the girl
Then they let you go
