See The Light
Stephen Sanchez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Down the fire escape
She went wild, wild
In my heart a burning flame
I thought it couldn't change
Her mind and mine
Love was such a scary thing
I didn't want you at all
Now I'm waiting by a cold window
'Til the sun has gone
Oh, my my
Oh, my my my
Now, don't think twice
Hold me up until you see the darkness
That I couldn't fight lying by your side
Hold me up until you see the light
Ooh, ooh, ohh
On words we fumbled in the strangest way
But, still we're losing space
We're tongue tied, tongue tied
And both our shadows spun all round the room
Then into one from two
We collide, collide
Love was such a scary thing
You didn't wanna fall
I didn't want you at all
Now I'm waiting by a cold window
'Til the sun has gone
Oh, my my
Oh, my my my
Now, don't think twice
Hold me up until you see the darkness
That I couldn't fight lying by your side
Hold me up until you see the light
Ooh, ooh, ohh
Oh, my my, oh my my my
Oh, my my my
Oh, my my
Oh, my my my
Now, don't think twice
Hold me up until you see the darkness
That I couldn't fight lying by your side
Hold me up until you see the light
Ooh, ooh, ohh
Oh, my my, oh my my my
Oh, my my my, hey
The lyrics to Stephen Sanchez's song "See The Light" tell the story of a complicated relationship where love is a scary thing that neither wanted to fall into but eventually, they did. The singer is waiting by a cold window until the sun goes down, seemingly waiting for a lover who has left through the fire escape. The chorus invokes the image of being held up until one can see the darkness and the light, suggesting that the relationship is a journey towards understanding and enlightenment.
The second verse talks about struggling to find the right words to say, but still losing space and becoming "tongue tied." The imagery of the shadows spinning all around the room and then colliding into one suggests that the singer and their lover were once two separate individuals who have now become one.
Overall, the song's lyrics speak to the intense emotions and confusion that come with falling in love and navigating a complex relationship. The chorus's repeated plea to "hold me up until you see the light" is a powerful declaration of vulnerability and the need for support throughout the journey of love.

She was gone before the morning came
She left before dawn
Down the fire escape
She left through the fire escape
She went wild, wild
She was acting crazy
In my heart a burning flame
I was deeply in love
I thought it couldn't change
I thought things would never be different
Her mind and mine
We had different thoughts and feelings
Love was such a scary thing
Love was frightening
You didn't wanna fall
You didn't want to be in love
I didn't want you at all
I didn't want to be in love with you
Now I'm waiting by a cold window
I'm waiting by the window
'Til the sun has gone
Until the sun sets
On words we fumbled in the strangest way
We struggled to express ourselves
But, still we're losing space
Our relationship is deteriorating
We're tongue tied, tongue tied
We couldn't speak openly
And both our shadows spun all round the room
Our shadows moved around the room
Then into one from two
They merged into one
We collide, collide
We meet abruptly
Oh, my my
Expression of surprise
Oh, my my my
Expression of further surprise
Now, don't think twice
Don't hesitate
Hold me up until you see the darkness
Support me until it's dark
That I couldn't fight lying by your side
That I couldn't resist when lying next to you
Hold me up until you see the light
Support me until morning
Ooh, ooh, ohh
Vocal expression
Oh, my my my
Expression of surprise
Oh, my my
Expression of surprise
Oh, my my my my
Expression of further surprise
Oh, my my my
Expression of surprise
Now, don't think twice
Don't hesitate
Hold me up until you see the darkness
Support me until it's dark
That I couldn't fight lying by your side
That I couldn't resist when lying next to you
Hold me up until you see the light
Support me until morning
Ooh, ooh, ohh
Vocal expression
Oh, my my
Expression of surprise
Oh, my my my my
Expression of further surprise
Oh, my my my
Expression of surprise
Hey

LYRICS
She was gone before the morning came
Down the fire escape
She ran wild
Ran wild
In my heart a burning flame
I thought it couldn't change
Her mind and mine
Love was such a scary thing
You didn't wanna fall
I didn't want you at all
Now I'm waiting by a cold window
Until the sun has gone
Oh, my my
Oh, my my my
Now, don't think twice
Hold me up until you see the-
Darkness that I couldn't find
Lying by your side
Hold me up until you see the light
On words we fumbled in the strangest way
But, still we're losing space
Tongue tied
Tongue tied
And both our shadows spun all round' the room
Then into one from two
We collide
Collide
Love was such a scary thing
You didn't wanna fall
I didn't want you at all
Now I'm waiting by a cold window
Until the sun has gone
Oh, my my
Oh, my my my
Now, don't think twice
Hold me up until you see the-
Darkness that I couldn't find
Lying by your side
Hold me up until you see the light
Oh, my my
Oh, my my my
Oh, my my
Oh, my my my
Now, don't think twice
Hold me up until you see the-
Darkness that I couldn't find
Lying by your side
Hold me up until you see the light
Oh, my my
Oh, my my my

I found this via my girlfriend sending it to me saying she wanted to move to a small town farm and lay in a field with me. So it does not disappoint.
