Opalite Lyrics

[00:06.74] I had a bad habit
[00:10.46] Of missing lovers past
[00:13.71] My brother used to call it
[00:18.06] 'Eating out of the trash'
[00:20.18] It's never gonna last
[00:22.06] I thought my house was haunted
[00:25.95] I used to live with ghosts
[00:29.33] And all the perfect couples
[00:33.25] Said, "When you know you know"
[00:35.50] And, "When you don't you don't"
[00:38.18] And all of the foes and all of the friends
[00:41.84] Have seen it before, they'll see it again
[00:46.19] Life is a song, it ends when it ends
[00:49.33] I was wrong
[00:52.48] But my Mama told me
[00:53.91] It's alright
[00:55.66] You were dancing through the lightning strikes
[01:00.15] Sleepless in the onyx night
[01:03.86] But now the sky is opalite
[01:06.83] Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh my Lord
[01:10.85] Never made no one like you before
[01:15.53] You had to make your own sunshine
[01:19.12] But now the sky is opalite
[01:22.34] Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[01:25.30] You couldn't understand it
[01:29.20] Why you felt alone
[01:32.91] You were in it for real
[01:37.12] She was in her phone
[01:38.73] And you were just a pose
[01:40.69] And don't we try to love love
[01:44.48] We give it all we got (we give it all we got)
[01:48.27] You finally left the table
[01:52.25] And what a simple thought
[01:54.00] You're starving til you're not
[01:56.93] And all of the foes and all of the friends
[02:00.84] Have messed up before, they'll mess up again
[02:04.86] Life is a song, it ends when it ends
[02:07.99] You move on
[02:11.28] And that's when I told you
[02:12.60] It's alright
[02:14.39] You were dancing through the lightning strikes
[02:19.06] Sleepless in the onyx night
[02:22.54] But now the sky is opalite
[02:25.89] Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh my Lord
[02:29.39] Never met no one like you before
[02:34.23] You had to make your own sunshine
[02:37.60] But now the sky is opalite
[02:41.27] Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[02:43.50] This is just
[02:45.87] A storm inside a teacup
[02:49.89] But shelter here with me, my love
[02:53.94] Thunder like a drum
[02:55.60] This life will beat you up, up, up, up
[02:58.71] This is just a temporary speed bump
[03:05.09] But failure brings you freedom
[03:09.11] And I can bring you love, love, love, love, love
[03:18.22] Don't you sweat it, baby
[03:19.70] It's alright
[03:21.53] You were dancing through the lightning strikes
[03:26.45] Sleepless in the onyx night
[03:29.90] But now the sky is opalite
[03:33.02] Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh my Lord
[03:36.62] Never made no one like you before, no
[03:41.45] You had to make your own sunshine
[03:45.22] But now the sky is opalite
[03:48.16] Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
[03:50.18]
