[Verse 1: Years & Years]
Can I hold you down tonight?
Can I unfold you?
I wanna know
These things I need to find
I can pretend it, and you can let go

[Chorus: Years & Years]
We always try to remind ourselves
We always feel what we've always felt
It's not the same when you're next to me
Are you hiding what you believe?
In the dark I can't say
Who we are, why we've changed
In the dark I can't stay
Let me know of my mistake

[Post-Chorus: Years & Years]
Illuminate
Illuminate
Illuminate

[Verse 2: Years & Years]
But I have to tell you why, we have been fighting
I am alone
And I know it's awful, right
I recognize it, you want to go
[Chorus: Years & Years]
We always try to remind ourselves
We always feel what we've always felt
It's not the same when you're next to me
Are you hiding what you believe?
In the dark I can't say
Who we are, why we've changed
In the dark I can't stay
Let me know of my mistake

[Post-Chorus: Years & Years]
Illuminate
Illuminate
Illuminate

[Bridge: Years & Years]
Light up, light up, light up for me
Light up, light up, light up for me
Light up, light up, light up for me
Light up, light up, light up for me
Light up, light up, light up for me
Light up, light up

[Post-Chorus: Years & Years]
Illuminate
Illuminate
Illuminate
[Chorus: Years & Years]
We always try to remind ourselves
We always feel what we've always felt
It's not the same when you're next to me
Are you hiding what you believe?
In the dark I can't say
Who we are, why we've changed
In the dark I can't stay
Let me know of my mistake

[Outro: Years & Years]
(Light up, light up, light up for me)
Light up, light up, light up for me (illuminate)
Light up, light up, light up for me
Light up, light up, light up for me (illuminate)
Light up, light up, light up for me
Light up, light up, light up for me (illuminate)
Light up, light up, light up for me
Light up, light
Illuminate
