Race You To the Light

Maybe we'll be together

When the sun disappears

In a house we've been building

For a hundred million years

And you can be my little sister

You can be my mother, too

Oh, I'll race you to the light

I'll race you to the light

I'll race you to the light

I'll race you to the light

Yeah I'll meet you at the corner

'Cause my folks are in a fight

Yeah I'll meet you at the corner

And we'll tear across the hill

Though I'm not feeling quite right

But I wanna see you still

Yeah I always wanna see ya

'Cause you look inside my pain

And you cup it with your hands

And you call it by its name

Then you bury it between us

In the dirt beneath our feet

And we grow from it together

Like a weeping mellow tree

Maybe we'll watch together

As the stars write our names

From a raft we've been building

Out of hailstones and flames

And I can be your little brother

I can be your father too

Whoa, I'll race you to the light

I'll race you to the light

I'll race you to the light

I'll race you to the light

Yeah I'll meet you at the [?]

Where the sticks are lean and tall

Where the light is growing darker

Where we don't feel scared at all

'Cause my arms are wrapped around you

With your face against my neck

We know magic doesn't happen

Without patience and respect

And the halls have all blown open

And the truth is running free

There ain't nothing in this world

More alive than you and me

There ain't nothing in this world

More alive than you and me

There ain't no one in this world

More in love than you and me

More in love than you and me

More in love than you and me

I'll race you to the light

I'll race you to the light

I'll race you to the light

I'll race you to the light

I will race you to the light

I will race you to the light

I will race you to the light

I will race you to the light

I'll race you to the light

I'll race you to the light

I'll race you to the light

I'll race you to the light

I'll race you to the light

I'll race you to the light

I'll race you to the light

I'll race you to the light
