VERSE 1

She ionizes and atomizes

then she turns into sunlight.

VERSE 2

He realizes and itemizes

pulls harder than gravity.

VERSE 3

She ionizes and atomizes

then she turns into sunlight,

for as sun lightbulbs will

make an absence of dark

but the light just ain't there still,

and she said,

"I am feeling emp-ty-he-he-he,

the real lights can make you hea-vy-y-y.

But never ever really empty."
