( and find my way back into her arms again )
only if for a night- florence and the machine
kaoru, her father's death, and family duty
i had a dream, about my old school
and she was all there pink and gold and glittering
and i threw myself around her legs,
and came to weeping came to weeping--
then i heard your voice as clear as day
and you told me i should concentrate
it was all so strange and so surreal
that a ghost should be so practical
ONLY IF FOR A NIGHT
and the only solution was to stand and fight
and my body was bruised and i was set alight
but you came over me like some holy rite
and although i was burning you were the only light
The grass was so green against my new clothes,
And I did cartwheels in your honor, dancing on tiptoes
My own secret ceremonials before the service began,
In the graveyard, doing handstands

no light, no light
florence and the machine
kaoru, chasing down the battousai rumors, fighting gohei and grieving
No light, no light in your bright blue eyes
I never knew daylight could be so violent
A revelation in the light of day
You can't choose what stays and what fades away
And I'll do anything to make you stay
No light, no light
(No light)
Tell me what you want me to say
Through the crowd eyes crying out at me
In your place there were a thousand other faces
I was disappearing in plain sight
Heaven help me, I need to make it right
You want a revelation,
You want to get it right
But, it's a conversation,
I just can't have tonight
You want a revelation, some kind of resolution
You want a revelation
Tell me what you want me to say
