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."
