Old volcanoes melting
Love is overwhelming

You turn your own light on
You turn your own light on inside of me
Closer the farther you've gone
Stronger the harder you fall in front of me
You turn your own light on
You turn your own light on
You turn your own light on inside of me
Closer the farther you've gone
Stronger the harder you fall in front of me
