I see you by the water
Your toes dipped in the sand
I thought that it was over
I thought you'd understand
But the feeling is returning
Though time has made us change
And I understand if you don't
Wanna talk to me about it
Tonight
Oh, tonight
'cause I see the light surrounding you
So don't be afraid of something new
Time was overtaking me
And I guess I was confused
They were all inviting me
But I wish I had refused
'cause I'd been there before
And I've seen it all
And I believe in you
And if you never had my heart
I would've never called you back
At the start that night
And I want you to know
That I see the light surrounding you
So don't be afraid of something new
'cause I see the light surrounding you
So don't be afraid of what you're turning into
Blue-eyed sun shines on me
In the morning
Can't help but feel a little cold
Thinking of you
'cause I see the light surrounding you
So don't be afraid of something new
'cause I see the light surrounding you
So don't be afraid of what you're turning into
No, don't be afraid
Don't be afraid
'cause I see the light
'cause I see the light
'cause I see the light surrounding you
Your toes dipped in the sand
I thought that it was over
I thought you'd understand
But the feeling is returning
Though time has made us change
And I understand if you don't
Wanna talk to me about it
Tonight
Oh, tonight
'cause I see the light surrounding you
So don't be afraid of something new
Time was overtaking me
And I guess I was confused
They were all inviting me
But I wish I had refused
'cause I'd been there before
And I've seen it all
And I believe in you
And if you never had my heart
I would've never called you back
At the start that night
And I want you to know
That I see the light surrounding you
So don't be afraid of something new
'cause I see the light surrounding you
So don't be afraid of what you're turning into
Blue-eyed sun shines on me
In the morning
Can't help but feel a little cold
Thinking of you
'cause I see the light surrounding you
So don't be afraid of something new
'cause I see the light surrounding you
So don't be afraid of what you're turning into
No, don't be afraid
Don't be afraid
'cause I see the light
'cause I see the light
'cause I see the light surrounding you

i adore the song and the lyrics, because it really reminds me of a recent sitaution with my ex-boyfriend. not the mention that Emily Browning looks absolutely stunning in the video.
though in general, i look at it as about moving on after a break-up. he feels quite responsible for whatever he's put her through and though they've already broken up, she still means something special to him. the ex-boyfriend is encouraging her, telling her how much potential she has only if she could overcome her fear.
I relate it to the guys who were waiting for their turn to charge and die, or dying in their mates arms. I think of a bloke turning to his mate and sort of comforting him, as in "this is really shit that we're all gunna die, but we're all gunna go out together so lets not be afraid". It's like they know they're gunna die (see the light surrounding you - like an aura) but don't be affraid of dying because it's all gunna be over for us soon and we'll be with eachother again in the next life.
Told you it was different.
