Headlights
Garrett Kato Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Alls memories came
flooding back in
but don't recall Just who I was back then
I got something to prove it to myself
I let you go not because someone else

Now i gotta stay strong
let me to the test
All your bagging needs just look what we had
Ain't nothing gonna change the way things are
but you've been hiding darlin, that's not who you are

My girl where you been looking out to four headlights out the window looking through the door
My girl where you been going late at night
I've heard almost everything you can't lie

(Guitar riff)

All of the things that we used to say
could take them back and put them in a grave
All late night sound fading (norses?) down, same results we are nothing to a star
Some can feel those just that you need all modality like these hearts bleed all I'm saying was we ain't who you were
Strange distances going figured getting worse

My girl where you been looking out to four headlights out the window looking through the door
My girl where you been going late at night
I've heard almost everything you can't lie

My girl your my girl, your my girl, your my girl
Yeah yeah yeaahh
My girl where you been looking out to four headlights out the window looking through the door




My girl where you been going late at night
I've heard almost everything you can't lie

The things we used to say and do are in the past and we cannot change them. Late night sounds fade, but the consequences remain the same. Some people can empathize, but it is up to you to decide what to do. We are not who we used to be, and things have become more complicated.


My girl your my girl, your my girl, your my girl Yeah yeah yeaahh My girl where you been looking out to four headlights out the window looking through the door My girl where you been going late at night I've heard almost everything you can't lie
You are my girl, and I need to know what has been going on. I have heard enough to know that something is not right, and you need to be honest with me.
