Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Picket fence
Broken on the bottom
Blue paint chipped away on the porch
You were my favorite ghost
Half a mile
To the corner market
Found you hiding in the cereal aisle
Wearing that lopsided smile
[Pre-Chorus]
But I want it all
The crown and the glitter
Watch the sparks fall
While the lemonade turns bitter
[Chorus]
Give me the lights
The ones that keep the stars awake
Make it loud tonight
Until my fragile bones finally break
Midwest heart in a big city state
Give me the lights
The ones that keep the stars awake
Yeah she is high
Flying where the giants are small
[Post-Chorus]
High-high-high
Wait for the fall
High-high-high
[Verse 2]
Rhinestone ring
Plastic on the finger
Buying luxury at the thrift store
Tossing the receipts on the floor
High heels crack
On the dusty pavement
Running from the shadows of the corn
Looking for a world where I was born
[Pre-Chorus]
But I want it all
The crown and the glitter
Watch the sparks fall
While the lemonade turns bitter
[Chorus]
Give me the lights
The ones that keep the stars awake
Make it loud tonight
Until my fragile bones finally break
Midwest heart in a big city state
Give me the lights
The ones that keep the stars awake
Yeah she is high
Flying where the giants are small
[Bridge]
Maybe I am just a souvenir
Dusty and cheap
Something to keep
Waiting for a traveler to appear
I'm here
I'm still here
[Chorus]
Give me the lights
The ones that keep the stars awake
Make it loud tonight
Until my fragile bones finally break
Midwest heart in a big city state
Give me the lights
The ones that keep the stars awake
Yeah she is high
Flying where the giants are small
[Post-Chorus]
High-high-high
Wait for the fall
High-high-high
