Come out Tonight
Invitation to Resurrect Lost Light
Lyrics
When you’re in trouble, do you call me?
Asking if the person calls for help when in trouble.
When you’re in need, do you believe me?
Inquiring if the person trusts and relies on the speaker in times of need.
I’ve never seen a front porch swing with two lovers
Expressing the absence of witnessing successful romantic relationships.
I’ve never seen it turn out right
Highlighting the speaker's perception that such relationships often don't end well.
But if you want a ride, I could be on your corner
Offering the possibility of companionship and support in difficult times.
Honey, come out tonight
Inviting the person to come out and spend time together.
Honey, come out tonight
Reiterating the invitation to spend time together.
I heard you’re waiting for some romantic
Mentioning rumors about the person expecting a romantic hero.
Superhero to sweep you off your blanket
Describing the anticipation of someone extraordinary to bring excitement.
I’ve never seen a good girl come through these taverns
Observing the absence of "good girls" in certain places like taverns.
I’ve never seen you here before
Not recognizing the person in the speaker's usual environment.
But if I made a cape of an American bandana
Suggesting a playful idea of turning a bandana into a superhero cape.
Honey, meet me on the dancefloor
Inviting the person to join the speaker on the dancefloor.
Honey, meet me on the dancefloor
Reiterating the invitation to dance together.
And there’s no light left in the city
Describing a lack of brightness in the city, possibly symbolizing a dull or difficult situation.
And there’s no soul left in any town
Expressing a sense of emptiness or lack of vitality in towns.
I used to have a heart; when it died it wasn’t pretty
Recalling a past state of having a heart, which suffered an unpleasant end.
I used to have a will and a fight
Noting the loss of determination and fighting spirit.
But if you want some fun, you could resuscitate me
Suggesting the potential for revitalization and enjoyment.
Bring me back to the light
Asking the person to bring the speaker back to a positive state.
Bring me back to the light
Reiterating the desire to be brought back to a positive state.
Honey, come out tonight
Repeating the invitation for the person to come out tonight.
Honey, come out tonight
Reiterating the invitation for the person to come out tonight.
