Meet Me In Montauk
Signalrunners Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Keep to your self dear, do not tell a soul
You know it's wrong what they've been sayin'
And you knew all along that I would have to go
Find a place where light shines on my reflection
A place where I can stand upon my own
Not down on my knees
Until then please
Meet me in the shadows
Past the old graveyard
On Eisenhower Road
Meet me where the storms
Blow out on their own dear
Meet me in the dark
Never let me go
I know everyone has their unspoken fear
That eats away their senses and their humanity
They carry all their secrets every night down to the river
And they try so hard to drown them, they won't do that to me
'Cause I'm working hard, saving all my money
And the tips in this jar will by a brand new set of wings
For my mercury
Until then please
Meet me in the dark
Meet me in the shadows
Past the old graveyard
On Eisenhower Road
Meet me where the storms
Blow out on their own dear
Meet me in the dark
And never let me go
I could never hide this little light of mine
If God made a mistake then I should die before I wake
Maybe it's my fate to swim against this tide
Swallowing my pride
Keep your eyes down, say that you don't know me
For I could not survive if they took you away
Meet me in the dark
Meet me in the shadows
Past the old graveyard
On Eisenhower Road
Meet me where the storms
Blow out on their own dear
Meet me in the dark
Meet me in the dark
Meet me in the dark

Keep your eyes down, keep your head lowered
Don't draw attention to us, stay inconspicuous
Keep to your self dear, do not tell a soul
Don't reveal our connection to anyone
You know it's wrong what they've been sayin'
The rumors about us are untrue and unfair
And you knew all along that I would have to go
You always knew that we would have to part ways
Find a place where light shines on my reflection
I need a place where I can truly see myself
A place where I can stand upon my own
I need to establish my independence
Not down on my knees
I won't beg or compromise to anyone
Until then please
In the meantime, meet me secretly
Meet me in the dark
Meet me in a secluded place
Meet me in the shadows
Meet me where we won't be seen
Past the old graveyard
A specific location for secrecy
On Eisenhower Road
Another specific location for secrecy
Meet me where the storms
Meet me where we can weather any trouble
Blow out on their own dear
Where problems can eventually resolve themselves
Never let me go
Always be there for me, no matter what
I know everyone has their unspoken fear
Everyone is afraid deep down
That eats away their senses and their humanity
Their fear is consuming them and making them less human
They carry all their secrets every night down to the river
They try to bury their secrets and pain
And they try so hard to drown them, they won't do that to me
I won't give in to my fears and try to suppress them
'Cause I'm working hard, saving all my money
I'm striving for independence and success
And the tips in this jar will by a brand new set of wings
I'm saving up for a better future
For my mercury
To make my dreams and goals a reality
I could never hide this little light of mine
I refuse to suppress my spirit and individuality
If God made a mistake then I should die before I wake
I won't hide my true self, even if it means death
Maybe it's my fate to swim against this tide
Perhaps it's my destiny to defy expectations
Swallowing my pride
Even if it means going against my own ego
Keep your eyes down, say that you don't know me
Keep our association a secret, deny knowing me
For I could not survive if they took you away
I need you with me to keep going
Meet me in the dark
Meet me where we won't be seen or discovered
Meet me in the dark
Meet me where we won't be seen or discovered
Meet me in the dark
Meet me where we won't be seen or discovered
