Light
Reeves Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You left the lights on
For me again
You tell me that you like me
But you hate my friends
It's kinda ugly
How we fight like that
Dont tell me that you love me
Cause I'll lie right back
You left the lights on
For me again
You tell me that you like me
But you hate my friends
It's kinda ugly
How we fight like that
Dont tell me that you love me
Cause I'll lie right back
I'm chasing white lines
Just to pass time
Rollin woods in the backseat
Till the day that i die
I took the dive
So I lied like that
Do or die
I'll probably die like that
Check the watch
Can't take that time back
Wave good bye with the finger on your right hand
She like that mid-west groove
With a little bit of toxic
I'm into midnight moves
With a little bit of oxies
And you been up all night
Catching bodies like a mosh pit
Its alright
Baby I know you can't stop it
Heater on my hip
Don't get burned by a third degree
Ice round my neck
Call it cold water therapy
You left the lights on
For me again
You tell me that you like me
But you hate my friends
It's kinda ugly
How we fight like that
Dont tell me that you love me
Cause I'll lie right back
You left the lights on
For me again
You tell me that you like me
But you hate my friends
It's kinda ugly
How we fight like that
Dont tell me that you love me
Cause I'll lie right back
All my dreams
Never seemed so empty
California's never been so tempting
Might need treatment when this benders ended
Weekend warrior and you can't stand it
All these long fights
And car rides
Been hard to deal with
You left the lights on
For me once more
Just a matter of time
Before I'm drunk and alone
You left the lights on
You left the lights on
For me once more
Just a matter of time
Before I'm drunk and alone
You left the lights on
You left the lights on
For me again
You tell me that you like me
But you hate my friends
It's kinda ugly
How we fight like that
Dont tell me that you love me
Cause I'll lie right back
You left the lights on
For me again
You tell me that you like me
But you hate my friends
It's kinda ugly
How we fight like that
Dont tell me that you love me
Cause I'll lie right back
You left the lights on
For me again
You tell me that you like me
But you hate my friends
It's kinda ugly
How we fight like that
Dont tell me that you love me
Cause I'll lie right back
You left the lights on
For me again
You tell me that you like me
But you hate my friends
It's kinda ugly
How we fight like that




Dont tell me that you love me
Cause I'll lie right back

This could be a sign of the pain of distance or even loss.

The repetition of "It's not the same" emphasizes how the singer is aware that the absence of this person has left a void that is difficult to fill.

Line by Line Meaning

I just wanna see your face
I yearn to catch a glimpse of your countenance


I just wanna speak your name
My heart yearns to pronounce your name


Just wanna hear your voice
I crave to listen to the sound of your voice


When you're gonna smile the same
I am hoping for the return of your infectious smile


It's not the same
Things have changed, it's not like before


No
This is what remains of the nostalgic past
