The Light (Part II) Lyrics
And regardless, in the evening
A light is thrown by the setting sun
It speeds along this vast familiar
Silently crosses everyone
It's the light that's changing
It's the light that's changing
It's the light that's changing
It's only the light
Across the gardens, across the schoolyards
Across the chapels where lovers have leapt
Across the table in our old kitchen
Across the cities where our future slept
It's the light that's changing
It's the light that's changing
It's the light that's changing
It's only the light
What can I do to defy you
What can I do to deny you
'cause I want no part of this breaking
This is a hurtful mistake you are making
And to me this love was true and shining
These years were real and defining
Please don't forget how much I meant to you
When you are redefined by someone new
Across what's left of these old places
Across the playgrounds where old friends play
Across the lines on familiar faces
Across the nothing that we say
It's the light that's breaking
It's the light that's breaking
It's the light that's breaking
It's only the light
A light is thrown by the setting sun
It speeds along this vast familiar
Silently crosses everyone
It's the light that's changing
It's the light that's changing
It's only the light
Across the chapels where lovers have leapt
Across the table in our old kitchen
Across the cities where our future slept
It's the light that's changing
It's the light that's changing
It's only the light
What can I do to deny you
'cause I want no part of this breaking
This is a hurtful mistake you are making
And to me this love was true and shining
These years were real and defining
Please don't forget how much I meant to you
When you are redefined by someone new
Across the playgrounds where old friends play
Across the lines on familiar faces
Across the nothing that we say
It's the light that's breaking
It's the light that's breaking
It's only the light

I can't believe no one has commented on this song. This is my favorite Mason song of all time. holy.. crap. I think it may be about a relationship that is slowly fading away "light that's breaking" and recounting all of the places they experienced together.
completely agree. my favorite of mason´s as well. it´s about letting go and how painful it is. the middle part (what can i do) is like...the most melancholy thing i´ve heard. amazing.
Completely agree about the middle verse.. it's just awesome.
