Am I alone in this?
never a night where I can sleep myself till day
we must try to figure it out, figure it out
it won't be that easy.
we lost it somehow.
you come over unannounced.
silence broken by your voice in the dark.
I need you here tonight
just like the ocean needs the waves.
the night becomes the space thats somewhere in between
what I feel and what I’m taught.
sitting on the shoreline trying to figure it out, figure it out.
to find out the meaning and reach it somehow.
you come over unannounced.
silence broken by your voice in the dark.
I need you here tonight
just like the ocean needs the wave.
fall aroud me now,
like stars that shine and brigthen the way.
I need you here tonight just like this night it needs the rain.
the season has changed.
the wind, it moves colder now, colder now.
the clouds are raised,
the rain it falls harder now, all around.
you come over unannounced.
silence broken by your voice in the dark.
I need you here tonight,
just like the ocean needs the waves.
so fall around me now.
just like stars that shine and brigthen the way.

"It may be the need for something more to fill your life, which in Mae's case would be God."
mae is not a christian band. they've stated this specifically on their website. while i don't doubt that some of the band members have christian beliefs, i don't think that they mean for all of their songs to be interpreted in a religious way. i've seen a lot of people on this site try to connect the songs to god somehow. a lot of them could be interpreted that way, but i doubt that they were written with that connection in mind; if they had been, mae would've just come out and said they were a christian band.
anyways. this is a great song.
I don't think you need to 'say' you're a "christian band' to be able to write some spiritual things... It's a part of life for many many people and artists like to write about their lives... soo.. the reason I see this song as a very God-desperate song ( I hate that everyone else in this forum uses "religious" for religious just means going through rituals.. it's nothing extremely personal and intense) are the lines :

This is the very feeling you'd get if you had a true experience with God... it's like a voice that shatters the darkness... just pure light.
I want stanzas =(
this song is magical and all you have to say is you want stanzas?!
i love this song.
THIS SONG IS THE BEST !!!!!!!!
This song is amazing. I have no idea what it means. I want stanzas too.

Anybody that's been in love and your significant other is not around or you just missed that person, you can relate to this and these words are no different.
I think he's talking about a relationship that's seen it's better days. There's something that's blocking them from being how they were, but when she's with him he realizes that he really needs her no matter what the problem. It's really sweet and I love the song. It's so beautiful.
very pretty. mae sounds like they've matured a bit.
I think that the couple in this song are still together and he is just showing how much he loves her by saying that he needs her there tonight. She makes everything better. This album could easily be the best album of 05.
More like the best album ever.. I can't stop listening to it.
