Headlights
Levi Robin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Young man havin' trouble,
Home, life is a double
Faces, mirror stares at him
with eyes that tell him,
begin a new life
Search and you'll come to find

No bags, no time
Just a heart and a hand to right
Down, His soul's thirst for water
in an endless desert sky
The sun will rise,
gotta make it through the night
The sun will rise

Off in the cold, night
underneath the desert sky,
My love came to me
in the flash of bright headights
In the dark as I opened up my eyes
hoping for a ride,
then I saw headlights

Cold air, seeps, bight
through his ripped up clothes
as he clutches a pocket knife
Visions in his mind
of his mom and dad mourning his flight
His heart grows warm,
Knowing he's got to go home
His heart grows warm

Off in the cold, night
underneath the desert sky
My love came to me
in the flash of bright headlights
In the dark as I opened up my eyes
hoping for a ride,
then I saw headlights

Off in the cold, night
underneath the desert sky
My love came to me
in the flash of bright headlights
In the dark as I opened up my eyes




hoping for a ride,
then I saw headlights
