[Verse 1]
Floating in and out of these clouds
I'm starry and high
Bleached into a light
Please stop, I'd rather that you didn't touch
My porcelain skin, 'cus it's paper thin

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Heart is crying out but I'm too cool to let you know
If I was not afraid I'd ask you can you light it up

[Chorus]
My mind so slow (can you light it up?)
I need your glow (can you light it up?)
Feeling stupid, lost and so confused
Help me out please tell me what to do
My mind so slow (can you light it up?)

[Verse 2]
They use me till I turn blue
My body's a mess, there's dirt on my dress
Well I thought that you already knew
My life is a sin, I just want to fit in

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Heart is crying out but I'm too cool to let you know
If I was not afraid I'd ask you can you light it up

[Chorus]
My mind so slow (can you light it up?)
I need your glow (can you light it up?)
Feeling stupid, lost and so confused
Help me out please tell me what to do
My mind so slow (can you light it up?)

[Bridge]
I'm empty and I'm so alone
I have fallen from the sky, I've got a broken soul
The only thing I have is you
So come on baby can you help me
Will you pull me through?

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I've been sinking in the darkness and I wanna stop
So tell me b-b-b-b-baby can you light it up

[Chorus]
(Can you light it up?)
(Can you light it up?)
Feeling stupid, lost and so confused
Help me out please tell me what to do
My mind so slow (can you light it up?)
My mind so slow (can you light it up?)
I need your glow (can you light it up?)
Feeling stupid, lost and so confused
Help me out please tell me what to do
My mind so slow (can you light it up?)

Charlotte Emma Aitchison (born 2 August 1992), known professionally as Charli XCX, is an English singer-songwriter known for her eclectic style. She began making music at fourteen, and her debut release was a 2008 limited-edition album aptly titled 14.

By 2010, Charli signed to Atlantic Records, and released her debut single “Stay Away” in May 2011. She released her “real” debut album, True Romance, in 2013. The record met critical acclaim but failed to attain much commercial success. Charli’s true breakthrough came with the release of hit collaborations like Iggy Azalea’s “Fancy” and Icona Pop’s “I Love It.”

In April 2014, Charli found solo success with “Boom Clap,” which was featured on the soundtrack of The Fault in Our Stars. It’s now certified triple platinum in the United States and gold in her native United Kingdom. Her sophomore album, Sucker, was a pop-punk oriented effort and enjoyed more success than her debut. “Break The Rules,” “Doing It” (featuring Rita Ora), and “Famous” all performed well on the UK singles chart.
