These Lights
The Forecast Lyrics

Have you ever seen stars like these
Have you ever witnessed something so beautiful and mesmerizing that you couldn't take your eyes off it?

With a night like this wishin' it could last for weeks
The singer is in awe of this amazing night and wishes it could go on for a much longer period.

And I'm convinced that soon you'll see
The singer believes that the person he is with will eventually realize the beauty around them as well.

These summer leaves turn to a winter breeze
The artist is foreshadowing the end of this beautiful summer night, and how everything will soon turn cold and barren like winter.

I will show you the country and all its secrets
The artist is willing to share his knowledge with those who accompany him, with a keenness to reveal the hidden gems only a local would know about.

Like why these lights burn out so quick
The singer wants to explain to the listener why their beautiful moment will not last forever and that everything fades away eventually, and soon the lights will burn out and it will be dark, just like in life.

Have you ever seen roads like these
The singer is asking if the listener has ever travelled on roads so surreal, with a stunning view and surrounded by nature.

With a sky so bright from the western light
The artist describes the beautiful, glowing night sky that is brighter from the reflection of some source in the west.

And I've foreseen a new family
The artist has a strong belief that the people accompanying him on this journey could soon become like a family, bound together by this beautiful yet fleeting moment.

Put a record on they say it soothes the soul
The simple and elegant music is described as something that can calm and heal the listener from the everyday noise of the world like a therapy session.

And takes us back in time when we walked in fields of gold
The music fills the singer with memories of the past, and takes them on a nostalgic journey, reminiscing of brighter and joyous times when they walked in fields of gold.

With the radio playing these random hits
The artist describes the playlist on the radio as hits that make them feel good, hits that have a special connection with the journey they are on.

We'll move onto a western view
The singer is hinting that they are going towards a direction where they'll be able to see and experience something more beautiful, more captivating than what they have already seen.

Tonight we ride to fight
The singer probably means that they are ready to bask in the beauty of the enchanting night as if it's an adversary, and fight to stay awake and revel in the moment.

We'll drop our heads real slow to the ground
This line could mean two things. One, the singer will probably lay down on the ground to watch the beauty above them with incredible clarity. The other interpretation could be that they will reflect deeply on their thoughts about life and the universe.

That's frozen cold and breath it in
The artist wants to experience the coldness of the ground, and wants to breathe in the freshness of the surroundings.

And move our limbs to make those wings
The artist wants to feel alive and free like a bird, and wants to spread his arms and fly into the night sky.

Begin again and wait and see
The singer urges the listener to start afresh, and wait patiently to see all the beautiful things life has to offer.

What tomorrow brings
The singer wants the listener to look forward to tomorrow's infinite possibilities and embrace a whole new world of opportunities.

And we will feast and fight and tell tales of hangmen, heroes, lovers, and pawns
The artist wants to indulge in the beauty of the moment with his companions and share stories of life, some that may be unfortunate, some about heroes that triumphed over similar situations, some about the loves that couldn't last, some about life's moves where everyone is pawn and part of a grand scheme.
