Lyrics

I’ll be your light, your match, your burn in’ sun.

I’ll be the bright in black that’s mak in’ you run.

And we’ll feel al right and we’ll feel al right ’cause we’ll work it out, yeah, we’ll work it out.

I’ll be do in’ this, if you have a doubt, ’til the love runs out, ’til the love runs out.

I’ll be your ghost, your game, your sta di um.

I’ll be your fif ty thou sand clap ping like one.

And I feel al right and I feel al right ’cause I worked it out, yeah, I worked it out.

I’ll be do in’ this, if you have a doubt, ’til the love runs out, ’til the love runs out.

I’ll be your runs out.

I got my mind made up.

Man, I can’t let go.

I’m kill in’ ev ’ry sec ond ’til it saves my soul.

Ooh, I’ll be run nin’, ooh, I’ll be run nin’ ’til the love runs out, ’til the love runs out.

And we’ll start a fire and we’ll shut it down ’til the love runs out, ’til the love runs out.

I’ll be your light, your match, your burn in’ sun.

I’ll be the bright in black that’s mak in’ you run.

And we’ll feel al right and we’ll feel al right ’cause we’ll work it out, yeah, we’ll work it out.

And we’ll start a fire and we’ll shut it down ’til the love runs out, ’til the love runs out, ’til the love

runs out.
