Vivid Light

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Devonté Hynes] It's a fallen fallacy Waiting at your window In the corner, reaching out Nothing makes it better Still you try and book a room Hoping something comes to you And still you're dry [Pre-Chorus: Devonté Hynes, Devonté Hynes & Zadie Smith] It's like you've never touched A six string guitar And the more you write You never get far [Verse 2: Devonté Hynes & Mustafa, Devonté Hynes, Mustafa & Zadie Smith] He has seen the vivid light Thievish in his disdain As a life of honour falls I find myself in rage I don't want to be alone Naked on the sixth floor Then the music starts [Pre-Chorus: Devonté Hynes, Mustafa & Zadie Smith] It's like you've never seen Your anger at large And the more you hide The smaller you are [Chorus: Devonté Hynes, Zadie Smith] Perfect nights, that still deceive me every week I couldn't eat I wasn't falling for the hope Something that you said you're used to But now it's sad in May (We need you now) [Post-Chorus: Devonté Hynes, Zadie Smith] A harder truth to take in (Nothing makes it better) And I swore I thought you'd make it through the night So I could see you at noon (Hoping something comes to you) I couldn't wait to bring you home to him How could I think it's alright? (Like you've never done) [Pre-Chorus: Devonté Hynes, Devonté Hynes & Zadie Smith] It's like you've never seen Your anger at large And the more you hide The smaller you are [Chorus: Devonté Hynes, Zadie Smith] Perfect nights, that still deceive me every week I couldn't eat I wasn't falling for the hope Something that you said you're used to But now it's sad in May (We need you now) [Post-Chorus: Devonté Hynes, Zadie Smith] A harder truth to take in (Nothing makes it better) And I swore I thought you'd make it through the night So I could see you at noon (Hoping something comes to you) I couldn't wait to bring you home to him How could I think it's alright? [Outro: Zadie Smith] I don't wanna be here alone I don't wanna be here alone Oh, I wanna run away I think I might just stay
