La-La-Light

Intro

(ooh-ooh) ah-ah-ah, ya-ya-ya

(ahhh) whoa—whoa—whoa

Verse

You stand by the corner with a paper cup, sun on the rim

Tucking your hair behind your ear like it's a secret hymn

A laugh spills out, it hits the air and then it lands on me

No timetable, no warning, just a little kind of gravity

Your shoes miss a step and suddenly the pavement's sweet

A stranger and a small jolt — a rush, a sugarbeat

I don't know your name, I don't know where you're from

But for a moment the world flips soft and colors come undone (ah)

Pre-chorus

Minute by minute the moment stretches wide

A tiny lighthouse in the middle of a tide (oooh)

I could freeze this frame, bottle up the sway

Hold on to that sparkle before it slips away (ah-yeah)

Chorus

Oh-oh, my chest goes la-la-light (la-la) whoa-oh

Ooh-ooh, a little lightning in the daylight (ooh) hey-ya

Oh-oh, a thousand tiny fireworks inside my head (inside)

Ooh-ooh, we met and then we melted like a thread (melt, melt)

Oh-oh, my chest goes la-la-light (la-la) whoa-oh

Ooh-ooh, a little lightning in the daylight (ooh) hey-ya

Oh-oh, a thousand tiny fireworks inside my head (inside)

Ooh-ooh, we met and then we melted like a thread (melt, melt)

Verse

You glance back once at the crosswalk, city sound like hums

A stray cat winks, a radio plays the song that hums along

Your silhouette’s a question mark I want to solve in ink

I rehearse a thousand clever lines but my mouth forgets to think (ah)

You catch a subway, like a comet in a rush of doors

I stand with coffee cooling, heart making tiny scores

Stranger or a chorus I can't keep but can't forget

There's joy in the unfinished — it's a high I won't regret (ooh)

Pre-chorus

Minute by minute the moment stretches wide

A tiny lighthouse in the middle of a tide (whoa)

I could trace the shape of that smile in my mind

Keep it like a dare, a map I fold and hide (yeah)

Chorus

Oh-oh, my chest goes la-la-light (la-la) whoa-oh

Ooh-ooh, a little lightning in the daylight (ooh) hey-ya

Oh-oh, a thousand tiny fireworks inside my head (inside)

Ooh-ooh, we met and then we melted like a thread (melt, melt)

Oh-oh, my chest goes la-la-light (la-la) whoa-oh

Ooh-ooh, a little lightning in the daylight (ooh) hey-ya

Oh-oh, a thousand tiny fireworks inside my head (inside)

Ooh-ooh, we met and then we melted like a thread (melt, melt)

Bridge

Maybe we'll never share a name, maybe we'll never speak again (no)

Maybe that's the magic — the sweetness of a moment's friend (ah)

I keep the picture in my pocket, like a coin that glows at night

I press it to my palm and laugh, and then I let it fly (fly, fly)

(Fly, fly) ooh-oooh, ah-ah, ya-ya

(Fly, fly) ooh-oooh, ah-ah, yeah-yeah

Chorus

Oh-oh, my chest goes la-la-light (la-la) whoa-oh

Ooh-ooh, a little lightning in the daylight (ooh) hey-ya

Oh-oh, a thousand tiny fireworks inside my head (inside)

Ooh-ooh, we met and then we melted lik
