Facing a plethora of legal fees, the siblings relented and changed the band name to Blondfire. They announced this decision to coincide with the release of a new acoustic live EP that would be solely available on the iTunes Music Store. It featured one song, "L-L-Love", that had been on Don't Whisper Lies, and three new songs, "Paper Doll", "Running Back", and "Fade to Pale". The new EP was more successful than the first, eventually becoming the #1 pop album on iTunes and #9 on the album charts.
Dear In Your Headlights
Blondfire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
till we are rolling on the lawn
I will not sleep
till we are staring down the sun
I will not sleep
till every day is a weekend
I will not sleep
going to go as hard as wee can
I don't want to be like you
I would rather be a monster
just howling at the moon
I don't want to be like that
I don't want to be like you
I don't want to be a downer
just a dear in your head lights
so baby wont you let me
baby wont you let me go
baby won't you let me
baby won't you let me goo
I will not sleep
till the record is all broke
I will not sleep
till it all goes up in smoke
I will not sleep
till everyday is a weekend
without sleep
can you go as fast as we can
I don't want to be like that
I don't want to be like you
I would rather be a monster
just howling at the moon
I don't want to be like that
I don't want to be like you
I don't want to be a downer
just a dear in your head lights
so baby won't you let me
baby won't you let me go
baby won't you let me
baby won't you let me
let me go!
