The Light
Garrett Kato Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

And we never came
We were lost anyway
All those people were running down the street
And nighttime was lonely with you and me

And you were just travelling from places i've known
This quiet and uncomfortable you and me
And i was just wondering if you couldn't see
The light, the light between you and me

And i just felt something
No words that you have said
The lessons we learn when we are older
Looking back now I am glad it is over

We were now dancing and we kissed in the rain
So love is the beast i call home now
And love is the beast i call home now





And i was just wondering if you couldn't see
The light, the light between you and me

Line by Line Meaning

And we never came
We failed to arrive


We were lost anyway
We were directionless to begin with


All those people were running down the street
We were left behind by the busy crowd


And nighttime was lonely with you and me
We found little comfort in each others company at night


And you were just travelling from places i've known
You have been to many of the same places as I have, but we are still strangers


This quiet and uncomfortable you and me
We were silently and awkwardly enduring each other's presence


And i was just wondering if you couldn't see
I was curious if you were aware of


The light, the light between you and me
The connection and attraction we share


And i just felt something
I experienced a strong emotion


No words that you have said
Your words did not generate this feeling


The lessons we learn when we are older
We gain wisdom with age


Looking back now I am glad it is over
Reflecting on it, I am happy it ended


We were now dancing and we kissed in the rain
We were swept up in the moment and shared a romantic kiss in the rain


So love is the beast i call home now
Love is the difficult but necessary part of my life now


And love is the beast i call home now
Love continues to be my challenging home


And i was just wondering if you couldn't see
I was still wondering if you were aware of


The light, the light between you and me
The connection and attraction we share
