“Light My Way” is a letter to the people who loved me when I felt the least worthy of it. For me, it’s about the light at the end of the tunnel of depression.
[Verse 1]
Got a soft spot growing in my queen size bed
Got a TV glowing burning my eyes red
Can’t turn it off
It’s all out of reach
Can’t turn it off
It’s all incomplete
I got another door closing with my fingers caught in
Got a window stuck open blowing bad news in
Can’t turn it off
It’s all out of reach
Can’t turn it off
It’s all incomplete
[Pre-Chorus]
Eyes can’t see past my teeth
Move my tongue but can’t speak
Silence swallowing me
[Chorus]
Out of mind, tried to forget you
Fears of mine were gonna come true
I prepared to let my vision blur and fade
Didn’t know that you would light my way
Didn’t love until I met you
Lost in fear then fortune sent you
I feel everything but nothing feels the same
Didn’t know that you would light my way
[Verse 2]
I think I might be growing come sit in my head
For a midnight showing with my arm around your neck
Don’t turn it off
Its all in our reach
Don’t turn it off
Come see me complete
You’re a bright eyed witness to my darkest stretch
You find words of wisdom in my graceless breath
Don’t ever stop
You’re all that I need
Don’t ever stop
You see me completely
[Pre-Chorus]
Eyes can’t see past my teeth
Move my tongue but can’t speak
Silence swallowing me, oh
[Chorus]
Out of mind, tried to forget you
Fears of mine were gonna come true
I prepared to let my vision blur and fade
Didn’t know that you would light my way
Didn’t love until I met you
Lost in fear then fortune sent you
I feel everything but nothing feels the same
Didn’t know that you would light my way
[Bridge]
I need you to chase me when I’m running away
I need you to swim out when I’m caught between waves
Oh, I close my eyes when all I’m seeing is pain
That never totally fades
[Chorus]
Out of mind, tried to forget you
Fears of mine were gonna come true
I prepared to let my vision blur and fade
Didn’t know that you would light my way
Didn’t love until I met you
Lost in fear then fortune sent you
I feel everything but nothing feels the same
Didn’t know that you would light my way, light my way
