Sleeping with the Lights On Lyrics
Oh, I've been haunted by this old ghost before
I want to hear your voice, you know it's been so long
Like a dancing wave you, balance on the shore
It would feel so good to see your face again
I still sleep with the lights on
I still stay up late alone
I still love another one
I still sleep with the lights on
We both understand we got no way back
Our love was strange in a strange land
And we got broken wings, we were bound to fall
Until the sun comes up you can hold my hand
I still sleep with the lights on
I still stay up late alone
I still love another one
I still sleep with the lights on
Take it easy, take it slow
Let's just watch the tides, they grow
The wind is coming from the side
We are sleeping in the light
I feel like waking up in your house some day
Or eating off your hand like a bird astray
But nothing’s gonna change, we’ll still be the same
We’ve said what’s to say, nothing’s buried nowhere
I still sleep with the lights on
I still stay up late alone
I still love another one
I still sleep with the lights on
I want to hear your voice, you know it's been so long
Like a dancing wave you, balance on the shore
It would feel so good to see your face again
I still stay up late alone
I still love another one
I still sleep with the lights on
Our love was strange in a strange land
And we got broken wings, we were bound to fall
Until the sun comes up you can hold my hand
I still stay up late alone
I still love another one
I still sleep with the lights on
Let's just watch the tides, they grow
The wind is coming from the side
We are sleeping in the light
Or eating off your hand like a bird astray
But nothing’s gonna change, we’ll still be the same
We’ve said what’s to say, nothing’s buried nowhere
I still stay up late alone
I still love another one
I still sleep with the lights on

I think this song is about still loving your first love with all you've got. Even if you have somebody else and you know you can't have the first love back you still wish for it. It's just so beautiful.

We both understand we got no way back Our love was strange in a strange land We got broken wings we were bound to fall... But nothing’s gonna change, we’ll still be the same We’ve said what’s to say, nothing’s buried no where
it's about the course of love and how some good things that are meant to stay in your past still come back to haunt you. everything about the relationship was accepted, there are no hard feelings, but he still misses it and thinks of it often. a beautiful song.
