[Verse 1]
Shaking heads, and dreamless people
Need to know if I can let go
Can't look back, 'cause now we're too close
And I cry where there's no use
On the back of endless night
Flying under loveless sky
And if I turn around, there'll be no light
I know the danger, but it's alright
[Pre-Chorus]
Pick up the light and keep it, darling
You know that I can tell
Pick up the light and keep it, darling
[Chorus]
We are young, we're foolish
Into the night
We just gotta get through this
The loneliest heights
Falling fearless
So young, so foolish
[Verse 2]
We left no bones, we left no traces
Sorrow sleeps, and we won’t wake it
Can't look back and we can’t shake it
Please ignite these endless skies
[Pre-Chorus]
Pick up the light and keep it, darling
You know that I can tell
Pick up the light and keep it, darling
[Chorus]
We are young, we're foolish
Into the night
We just gotta get through this
The loneliest heights
Falling fearless
So young, so foolish
[Bridge]
Pick up the light and keep it, darling
Pick up the light and leaving it, darling
Pick up the light and keep it, darling
Pick up the light and leaving it, darling
I'm going, I'm going
I'm going, I'm going
Oh, I'm going, I'm going
I'm going, I'm going
[Chorus]
We are young, we're foolish
Into the night
We just gotta get through this
The loneliest heights
Falling fearless
So young, so foolish
[Outro]
We give no care
All we see is blurred out faces
All we see is blurred out faces
All we see is blurred out faces
Pick up the light, the light
Wake up, wake up
[Distant voice]
