I was a Ferris wheel
In an empty field
Where nobody goes

Had all the curtains drawn
Sitting all alone
Feeling like a ghost

I was a broke down heartbreak
Badly in need
Of a little of love's electricity

A busted carnival ride
In the middle of the night
Then you flipped the switch
You turned on the show

You light me up
Like the fireworks flying on the 4th of July
Yeah
You light me up
Like the sunshine blazing in the summertime
Oh, everytime
You light me up

You were the missing piece
To my broken dreams
You're bringing me back to life

You look like a movie star
Just the way you are
Makes me burn inside

Yeah, it's dynamite
Finally finding a match
Baby, when you look at me like that

You light me up
Like the fireworks flying on the 4th of July
Yeah
You light me up
Like the sunshine blazing in the summertime
Oh, everytime
You light me up
Baby, you light me up
Oh, you light me up

Like New York City
On New Year's Eve
You light me up
All the dark days left when you came to me

You light me up
Like the fireworks flying on the 4th of July
You light me up
Like the sunshine blazing in the summertime
Oh, everytime
You light me
Like the fireworks flying on the 4th of July
Yeah
You light me up
Like the sunshine blazing in the summertime
Baby, everytime
You light me up
Baby, you light me up
Baby, you light me up
Baby, you light me up
