Light 'em up, light 'em up Tell me where you are, tell me where you are Summer nights, bright lights And the shootin' stars, they break my heart Callin' you now, but you're not pickin' up Shadows so close if that's still enough Light a match, light a match Baby, in the dark, show me where you are Oh, love How I miss you every single day When I see you on those streets Oh, love Tell me there's a river I can swim that will bring you back to me 'Cause I don't know how to love someone else I don't know how to forget your face No, love God, I miss you every single day and now you're so far away So far away It's breakin' me, losin' you We were far from perfect But we were worth it Too many fights, and we cried But never said we're sorry Stop sayin' you love me You're callin' me now, but I can't pick up Your shadow's still close, and I'm still in love The summer's over now But somehow it still breaks my heart We could have had this talk Oh Oh, love How I miss you every single day When I see you on those streets Oh, love Tell me there's a river I can swim that will bring you back to me 'Cause I don't know how to love someone else I don't know how to forget your face No, love God, I miss you every single day and now you're so far away So far away So far away, oh So far away So far away Oh, love How I miss you every single day When I see you on those streets Oh, love Tell me there's a river I can swim that will bring you back to me 'Cause I don't know how to love someone else I don't know how to forget your face Oh, love God, I miss you every single day when you're so far away
