Light
Son of a Gun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Going under on the outside
Go save me from myself
In a minute they call my number
It's my moment to share my tale
Over my head and I'm falling without you
Hope is the medicine that never fails
Forever falling, I'm stuck In this motion
Keep your head up, don't miss the sights
A shadow of the summer nights
Save me from myself
Going under on the outside
Save me from myself
Going under on the outside, save me from myself
The Summer in the night sky
It's taken away
I'm drowning out, with blinding lights
These summer nights with you
Feel the music the beat that shapes you
Give me a rhythm to get me through
Don't be scared if I'm turning the lights out
Is tonight the night well you're gonna find out
Save me from myself
Going under on the outside
Save me from myself
Going under on the outside, save me from myself
The Summer in the night sky
Is taken away
I'm drowning out, with blinding lights
These summer nights with you
Power of hope it makes it true
I'm taking back, I'm breaking for you
With blinding lights and Summer nights
One for the money and two for the outside
Will we dance again, learn to love again
Can you see me now
Cross our paths again, take a chance again
Can you see me now
Will we dance again, learn to love again
Can you see me now
Cross our paths again, take a chance again
Can you see me now, can you see me
Save me from myself
Going under on the outside
Save me from myself
Going under on the outside, save me from myself
The Summer in the night sky
Is taken away
I'm drowning out, with blinding lights
These Summer nights with you
Power of hope it makes it true
I'm taking back, I'm breaking for you
Blinding lights and Summer nights
One for the money and two for the outside
The Summer in the night sky
Is taken away
I'm drowning out, with blinding lights
These Summer nights with you
Power of hope it makes it true
I'm taking back, I'm breaking for you
Blinding lights and Summer nights
One for the money and two for the outside
