Just Your Glow

Verse 1

When the light on the landing cuts through the doorframe

It's not surprising at all what you're about to see

It's been going on for years

Verse 2

My mother has always hated my father's guts

For the way he used to treat her

And she still talks about it constantly

It's been going on for years

Verse 3

And it used to make me cry

But now I'm older, I can see why

The day you turned 16

It was like a mirror held up to me

Verse 4

Then the late nights became the long nights

And the long nights became the dawn

You asked me what it was that I was looking for

It's been going on for years

Verse 5

And I said, "Baby, do you know

It's not you that I love, it's just your glow?"

You don't have to look so surprised

I'll explain if you let me

Verse 6

'Cause I know what you think about when you're alone

You're so scared of turning out just like your folks

But if you look a little deeper

You'll see that it's not such a mystery

Verse 7

It's just you and me

It's just you and me

It's just you and me

It's just you and me

It's just you and me

It's just you and me

Outro

It's just you and me

It's just you and me
