I never really feel quite right
And I don't know why, all I know is something's wrong
Every time I look at you, you seem so alive
Tell me how you do it, walk me through it, I'll follow in every footstep

Maybe on your own, you take a cautious step
Till you want to give it up, but all I want is for you to
Shine, shine down on me
Shine on this life that's burnin' out

I say a lot of things sometimes that don't come out right
And I act like I don't know why
I guess a reaction's all I was lookin' for
When you look through me, you really knew me
Like no one else ever looked before

Maybe on your own, you take a cautious step
Till you want to give it up, but all I want is for you to
Shine, shine down on me
Shine on this life that's burnin' out

(I know, I know, know yougot somethin')
Shine, (shine it on me) shine down on me
(I want to feel it)
Shine on this life that's burnin' out

Maybe on your own, you take a cautious step
Till you want to give up, but all I want is for you to
Shine, shine down on me
(Just show me something)
Shine on this life that's burnin' out

(You give me something that I've never known)
Shine (if you could show me the way) shine down on me
(I want to know what's going on in your life)
Shine on this life that's burnin' out (don't you know I want you to)
Shine, shine down on me, Shine on this life that's burnin' out
