[Verse 1]
I’m somewhat of a ghost when I walk in a room
And you’re commanding the crowd doing what you do
I still can’t believe you gave to me this moment
And suddenly I appear when appearing with you
[Pre-Chorus]
Be as it may, connect or not I’m glad I took my shot
[Chorus]

You are the sky and maybe I can be a star

[Pre-Chorus]
Be as it may, connect or not I’m glad I took my shot
[Chorus]
You light me up, you light me up
You are the movie and maybe I can play a part
You light me up, you light me up
You are the sky and maybe I can be a star
You light me up

[Outro Chorus]
You light me up, you light me up
You are the movie and maybe I can play a part
You light me up, you light me up
You are the sky and maybe I can be a star
You light me up, you light me up
You light me up, you light me up
