I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Here I am
What a nice place to be
I never thought I'd see the skies separate for me
And here I am
What a nice surprise
If only I had known what life was like on this side
You always bring me light, and you help me find my way
A gentle kiss goodnight is the innocence I crave
Here I am
Humbled and amazed
This beautiful little miracle of life was gifted to me
And here I am
I never thought I'd say
If ever I could live my life again
I'd live it your way
You've always brought me life, and you've helped me find my way
A simple kiss goodnight is the innocence I crave
I'll never waste your time
I'll never cause you pain
I'll love you all my life
I'll love you everyday
Under the light you shine on me
I promise I will be there for you baby
I'd never wanna leave you anyway
You've become my light
I cross my heart that's in your hands
With hope that you'll always be my best friend
I promise I will be there 'til the end
You've become my light
Under the light you shine on me
I promise I will be there for you baby
I'd never wanna leave you anyway
You've become my light
I cross my heart that's in your hands
With hope that you'll always be my best friend
I promise I will be there 'til the end
You've become my light
You've become my light
You've become my light
You've become my light
You've become my light
You've become my light
Under the light you shine on me
I promise I will be there for you baby
I'd never wanna leave you anyway
You've become my light
I cross my heart that's in your hands
With hope that you'll always be my best friend
I promise I will be there 'til the end
You've become my light
You've become my light
You've become my light
You've become my light
You've become my light
What a nice place to be
I never thought I'd see the skies separate for me
And here I am
What a nice surprise
If only I had known what life was like on this side
You always bring me light, and you help me find my way
A gentle kiss goodnight is the innocence I crave
Here I am
Humbled and amazed
This beautiful little miracle of life was gifted to me
And here I am
I never thought I'd say
If ever I could live my life again

You've always brought me life, and you've helped me find my way
A simple kiss goodnight is the innocence I crave

I'll never cause you pain
I'll love you all my life
I'll love you everyday
Under the light you shine on me
I promise I will be there for you baby
I'd never wanna leave you anyway
You've become my light
I cross my heart that's in your hands
With hope that you'll always be my best friend
I promise I will be there 'til the end
You've become my light
Under the light you shine on me
I promise I will be there for you baby
I'd never wanna leave you anyway
You've become my light
I cross my heart that's in your hands
With hope that you'll always be my best friend
I promise I will be there 'til the end
You've become my light
You've become my light
You've become my light
You've become my light
You've become my light
You've become my light
Under the light you shine on me

You've become my light
You've become my light
You've become my light
