Song Lyrics

Tonight, I'm gonna take it easy
Don't wanna be down anymore
It's all still a mystery to me
I've forgotten what we were fighting for

Every light in my mind goes shining on
Every fire that died goes shining on
Every setting sun goes shining on
On and on and on, on and on and on

Do you need a resolution
To understand where the pain is coming from?
Were you accused of things you didn't do?
Or were you standing in the middle of a dream coming true?

Every light in my mind goes shining on
Every fire that died goes shining on
Every star at dawn goes shining on and on
On and on and on

Condemnations tears and lies released from memory
We will always be beautiful, beautiful
Condemnations tears and lies released from memory
We will always be beautiful on the night we kissed in the stairwell

Before we really knew each other yet
It may not be easy but we need to forget
All the mistakes, disasters and words
That should never have been spoken

Every light in my mind goes shining on
Every star at dawn goes shining on
Every setting sun goes shining on
On and on and on, on and on and on
On and on and on, shining on and on
