Follow The Lights Home Lyrics
I was seven years old when I watched the world fall down
I can’t remember but I like the way it sounds
I never realized that kids like me grow up in war
so I thought my life was hard until you told me yours
and if the sky should fall and break you up while it hits the ground
you wont ever let life go
wont ever let you go,
just follow the lights home
My father sings to me,
tucks me in at night.
Your father died for you so you could stay alive
and I’m so scared to say that we're the same in every way except one
I was born in peace and you under the gun.
and if the sky should fall and break you up while it hits the ground
you wont ever let life go
wont ever let you go,
just follow the lights home
And a child of seven years should never have to see
their world come crashing down to wither at their feet.
And me and my self centered little world cannot comprehend the truth
that I cant live through what you have
and I could have been you.
and if the sky should fall and break you up while it hits the ground
you won't ever let life go
wont ever let you go,
just follow the lights home
And if the sky should fall and break you up while it hits the ground
you wont ever let life go
wont ever let you go,
just follow the lights home
I can’t remember but I like the way it sounds
I never realized that kids like me grow up in war
so I thought my life was hard until you told me yours
and if the sky should fall and break you up while it hits the ground
you wont ever let life go
wont ever let you go,
just follow the lights home
tucks me in at night.
Your father died for you so you could stay alive
and I’m so scared to say that we're the same in every way except one
I was born in peace and you under the gun.
and if the sky should fall and break you up while it hits the ground
you wont ever let life go
wont ever let you go,
just follow the lights home
their world come crashing down to wither at their feet.
And me and my self centered little world cannot comprehend the truth
that I cant live through what you have
and I could have been you.
and if the sky should fall and break you up while it hits the ground
you won't ever let life go
wont ever let you go,
just follow the lights home
you wont ever let life go
wont ever let you go,
just follow the lights home

I really love this song. It's so good, probably one of my favourite Locals songs.
"and just how they lived through the whole complicated war that split the country up, and how it makes you think how much better your life is really"
Yeah that is what it's about. The Matches are amazing.
This song is so cool...It's not like the "vintage" Matches but still Matches-esque nonetheless...I'm not really sure wat it's about...It sounds like maybe a "war" song how when he was growing up there wasn't one and if there was, it wasn't a huge deal but for 2day's kids, war is everywhere and it's harder 2day...I'm not sure if that assumption is rite but the song it great.
i think this has to do with someone shawn knew from croatia/yugoslavia/whatever you'll call it and just how they lived through the whole complicated war that split the country up, and how it makes you think how much better your life is really. read their tour journals.
