You Are My Light
dustbox Lyrics

When I was sixteen, I found your songs
At the age of 16, I discovered your music and became a fan

I listened to them over and over again
I played your songs repeatedly, enjoying them each time

On my car stereo while making deliveries
I listened to your music in my car while working as a delivery person

I almost wore out the cassette tape
I played your music so often, I almost broke the cassette tape it was on

There's no doubt about it
It's clear to me that your music made a significant impact on my life

You brought light into my boring daily life
Your music made my ordinary, mundane life more enjoyable and exciting

You are my light
You bring joy and positivity into my life

You always let me forget my sadness
Your music helps me escape from my sadness and worries

You always keep my dreams from falling apart
Your music inspires me to pursue my goals and never give up

We'll always stay young and keep dreaming our dreams now and forever more
We will always stay youthful at heart and continue to pursue our dreams

Every time I listen to your songs
Whenever I listen to your music

I always feel it's right
I always feel like I'm in the right place, doing the right thing when I listen to your music

The years passed and I listened to my own
As the years went by, I started creating my own music

Demo with my bad guitar as I worked
I worked on my music demo while playing my not-so-good guitar

I listened countless times and rewrote it
I listened to my demo repeatedly and made changes to it

I had to be better than you, I sighed
I had a desire to become a better musician than you

My troubles never seemed to end
I experienced many challenges and struggles in my life

But I still had a blast each and every day
Despite my problems, I still found enjoyment and happiness in my daily life

A pile of crumpled up paper
I had a pile of paper that had been crumpled up

A pen rolls across my desk
A pen moved by itself across my desk

I was lost in my thoughts alone in my room
I was deep in thought, secluded in my room

Wishing I could see you someday
I had a desire to meet you in person someday

The words float and sink
The words I wrote seemed to move up and down, as if floating or sinking

My ashtray is overflowing with cigarette butts
I had smoked several cigarettes and my ashtray was full

The sunlight comes through the curtain
The sun shone through the curtains of my room

It's morning again, I laugh
It was a new day and I felt happy and optimistic

You are my light, yeah
You bring light and positivity into my life
