Light Up My Room Lyrics

[Verse 1]
A hydrofield cuts through my neighborhood
Somehow that always just made me feel good
I can put a spare bulb in my hand
And light up my yard

[Verse 2]
Late at night when the wires in the walls
Sing in tune with the din of the falls

I'm conducting it all while I sleep
To light this whole town


[Chorus]
If you question what I would do
To get over and be with you
Lift you up over everything
To light up my room

[Verse 3]
And there's a shopping cart in the ravine
The foam on the creek is like pop and ice cream
A field full of tires that is always on fire
To light my way home


[Verse 4]
There are luxuries we can't afford
But in our house we never get bored
'Cause we can dance to the radio station
That plays in our teeth
[Chorus]
If you question what I would do
To get over and be with you
Lift you up over everything
To light up my room
My room

[Verse 1]
A hydrofield cuts through my neighborhood
Somehow that always just made me feel good
I can put a spare bulb in my hand
And light up my yard

[Outro]
Light up my yard
Lights in my yard
Light up my yard
(Light up my yard)
(Light up my yard)
(Light up my yard)
(Light up the yard)
(La-da-da-da)
(La-da-da-da)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
