Turn the lights on Lyrics
She'll write a sad sad song
to let this pain just stay too long
and she'll be a firefight
a forest king
this heart of blood left in the ring
He'll be a needle
like you're passin' through
I'll take that chance girl
how bout you
and she'll meet a lover who
when all seems lost
makes love to his dream
careless of the cost
Turn the lights on
turn the lights on
turn the lights on
turn the lights on
She'll be a father
with a broken son
and face like stone cold
has a gun there
was a soldier
topped by crumbling walls
or wind and rain just drowned his cause
I know it's hard
it's so hard to tell
my hands don't match my water well
like walking listless down darkened streets
I hear the drum
I just can't keep the beat
Turn the lights on
turn the lights on
turn the lights on
turn the lights on
It's been awhile since I've been on trial
for the course my life has run
I haven't heard any words
that forgive the things I've done
Yeah
So set a course for the north
I'll be waiting for words that come
just come away
come away
come away
come away
way
come away
my son
Turn the lights on
turn the lights on
turn the lights on
turn the lights on
to let this pain just stay too long
and she'll be a firefight
a forest king
this heart of blood left in the ring
like you're passin' through
I'll take that chance girl
how bout you
and she'll meet a lover who
when all seems lost
makes love to his dream
careless of the cost
turn the lights on
turn the lights on
turn the lights on
with a broken son
and face like stone cold
has a gun there
was a soldier
topped by crumbling walls
or wind and rain just drowned his cause
I know it's hard
it's so hard to tell
my hands don't match my water well
like walking listless down darkened streets
I hear the drum
I just can't keep the beat
turn the lights on
turn the lights on
turn the lights on
for the course my life has run
I haven't heard any words
that forgive the things I've done
Yeah
So set a course for the north
I'll be waiting for words that come
just come away
come away
come away
come away
way
come away
my son
turn the lights on
turn the lights on
turn the lights on

there you have it. this song is my life's theme song. it just talks about a few of life's struggles, saying turn the lights on... like "wake up"
oh yeah and... "first comment" yaaaaaaaay
Thanks so much freakinpro.
I was wondering if anyone knew what the line "my head don't match my water well" line meant.
No prob! I love their lyrical style so I kinda study them quite a bit. I could be wrong but I see the "my head don't match my water well" line as meaning something to the effect of them not recognizing themself in their own reflection. The person they are or have become is not who they see in the mirror/reflection of the water. Correct me if I'm wrong, that's just what I got out of it.
