Lyrics: Opalite

I had a bad habit

Of missing lovers past

My brother used to call it

"Eating out of the trash," it's never gonna last

I thought my house was haunted

I used to live with ghosts

And all the perfect couples

Said, "When you know you know and when you don't you don't"


And all of the foes and all of the friends

Have seen it before, they'll see it again

Life is a song, it ends when it ends

I was wrong


But my Mama told me, "It's alright

You were dancing through the lightning strikes

Sleepless in the onyx night

But now the sky is opalite

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh my Lord

Never made no one like you before

You had to make your own sunshine

But now the sky is opalite"

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh


You couldn't understand it

Why you felt alone

You were in it for real

She was in her phone, and you were just a pose

And don't we try to love love? (Love love)

We give it all we got (Give it all we got)

You finally left the table

And what a simple thought, you're starving till you're not


And all of the foes and all of the friends

Have messed up before, they'll mess up again

Life is a song, it ends when it ends

You move on


And that's when I told you, "It's alright

You were dancing through the lightning strikes

Sleepless in the onyx night

But now the sky is opalite

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh my Lord

Never met no one like you before

You had to make your own sunshine

But now the sky is opalite"

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh


This is just a storm inside a teacup

But shelter here with me, my love

Thunder like a drum

This life will beat you up, up, up, up

This is just a temporary speed bump

But failure brings you freedom

And I can bring you love (Love, love, love, love)

Don't you sweat it, baby


"It's alright

You were dancing through the lightning strikes

Oh, so sleepless in the onyx night

But now the sky is opalite

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh my Lord

Never met no one like you before

You had to make your own sunshine

But now the sky is opalite"

Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh
