Light of Love
Florence the Machine Lyrics

And I came to, walking on the train tracks
The singer wakes up on train tracks and feels lost and confused

How did I get here? And how do I get back?
The singer questions how she arrived there and how she will return

I've been up all night, let's stay awake
The singer wants to stay up all night and keep going

Push it further, you know I'll never break
The singer is determined to keep pushing herself forward, despite any obstacles

At some point in the party I thought my heart was failing
The singer feels overwhelmed and scared at the party

You said, "Hey, you're okay, you seem to be still standing"
A friend reassures the singer that she is okay and still standing

Flashes appeared at the corner of my eyes
The singer sees flashes at the corners of her eyes

I saw the stars and I didn't ask why
The singer sees the beauty in the world and doesn't question it

Heard the voices and caught my breath
The singer is caught off guard by hearing voices

So close and yet so far from death
The singer realizes that she was walking a dangerous line, but was lucky not to cross it

Well the feeling was always too much for me, it always came too strong
The singer expresses that she feels everything too deeply, it can be overwhelming

I wanted to get it right so badly that I always got it wrong
The singer tries so hard to do the right thing that she ends up making mistakes

So you keep pushing on
The singer encourages herself to keep pushing through

You hope it won't be long
The singer hopes that things will get better soon

Till you could find the child you were
The singer wants to find the part of herself that is pure and innocent

And find a way to get along
The singer hopes to find a way to live peacefully with herself and others

Don't go blindly into the dark
The singer cautions against blindly following the unknown path

In every one of us shines the light of love
There is love inside of every person

And oh my little sister, when the drugs were wearing off
The singer turns to her sister for comfort after being on drugs

I climbed into your bed and said, "I think I did too much"
The singer shares with her sister that she took too many drugs

In some ways that was simpler, being too fucked up to see
The singer reflects on how life was simpler when she was on drugs

I didn't have to wake up to the world that was around me
Being on drugs helped the singer escape reality

And now we are awake and it seems too much to take
The singer is overwhelmed by reality after being on drugs

I want to close my eyes because I fear my heart will break
The singer wants to avoid the pain she feels

I want to look away
The singer wants to avoid the truth

I must not look away
The singer recognizes the importance of facing the truth

Na na na na na na na ah

Na na na na na na

Na na na na na na na ah

I want to look away
The singer wants to avoid the truth

I must not look away
The singer recognizes the importance of facing the truth

I must not look away
The singer recognizes the importance of facing the truth

I must not look away
The singer recognizes the importance of facing the truth

I must not look away
The singer recognizes the importance of facing the truth
