They also contributed to the Punk Goes 90's album, doing a version of Third Eye Blind's "Jumper" with their original band lineup. It prominently features a piano played by Sebastian Davin of Dropping Daylight throughout the song, and less guitar than the original.
As of 2007, the band has reformed with several new members, and recorded a second album, Life on Life's Terms, at Treesound Studios in the United States state of Georgia. The band's 2007 effort, Life on Life's Terms, leaked onto the Internet on July 4th, 2007 from an unknown source six days before it was officially released. The record was released on Trustkill on July 10th, 2007.
Life on Life's Terms marked a change in musical style which differentiated from their previous work. Whereas The Dawn was more influenced by emo lyrics and singing/screaming styles, Life on Life's Terms took a more straight-up rock and pop-rock approach. Life on Life's Terms, while not as widely acknowledged as a release as The Dawn, did garner much more positive reviews. Both CDs feature mild guitar solos in various songs despite the somewhat significant changes in musical stylings.
Beginning in October 2007, the band began touring with well-known alternative bands New Found Glory and Senses Fail, and in November Bedlight for Blue Eyes toured with Sullivan and Kenotia.
On November 1, 2008, the band announced that they were on indefinite hiatus.
On January 23, 2009, at The School of Rock in Hackensack, NJ, the band played their last show.

Bedlight for Blue Eyes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The way you disguise the way you feel about me
Waiting for this moment to collapse
You know I tried to, oh god I tried to
Break through
And every time I look into your eyes, what do I see?
Inside of me?
This time we will run to anywhere you choose
I'll give you more than all, more than all
I'd slit my throat
For just one glimpse
Into your heart
I can't take this anymore
The constant games you've been playing
And every time you look my way
All the words you try to say are falling apart
Where does that leave me?
Waiting for this moment to collapse
You know I tried to, oh god I tried to
Break through
And every time I look into your eyes, what do I see?
Inside of me?
Waiting for this moment to collapse inside my mind
This time we will run to anywhere you choose
I'll give you more than all
All my feelings galvanized in blood
We will run to anywhere you choose
I'll give you more than all
Why is it every time I close my eyes you're there?
I see your face
You're always there
Why is it every time I close my eyes you're there?
I see your face
You're always there
"The Promise" by BEDlight for blueEYES is a song about unrequited love, the struggle to break through the barrier someone has put up, and the constant play of mind games in a relationship. The lyrics express the despair of the singer as he realizes that the person he loves does not feel the same way about him. He can sense the way she hides her true feelings and waits for the moment when everything will fall apart. Despite his efforts to break through and reach her, she continues to lead him on, leaving him unsure about where he stands in her life.
The lines "Waiting for this moment to collapse inside my mind" and "This time we will run to anywhere you choose" represent the singer's desire to escape this situation, to run away with the woman he loves, but in reality, it is just a fantasy, and he knows it. His love for her is so strong that he would even slit his throat for just one glimpse into her heart. The song ends with the realization that the singer cannot take it anymore, and he is left alone with his thoughts, still haunted by her memory.
