Lyrics
There's a place in the woods
There is a location in the woods.
Surrounded by stone
This place is surrounded by stone.
Where the light fades quick,
The light diminishes quickly in this place.
And the dogs won't go.
Dogs are reluctant to go to this location.
I took you there to make you mine.
The speaker took someone to this mysterious place to establish a connection.
You bared your throat, said Do what you want.
The other person willingly exposed vulnerability, saying "Do what you want."
Let the sunlight in with all the skeleton men,
The speaker suggests letting light in, possibly metaphorically overcoming darkness or secrets.
Baby, let the sunlight in.
Repetition of the idea of letting sunlight in, emphasizing its importance.
I never even kissed you.
The speaker confesses to not having kissed the other person despite the intimate setting.
I got scared. You were so bold.
The speaker got scared because the other person was bold or forward.
You touched my cheeks

With your fingers cold.
Describing the physical contact with sensory details.
You saw me flinch. You felt me hesitate.

Right then and there

I made my escape.
Describing the immediate response to the discomfort.

A comet blazed in the sparkling sky

For a couple of months at most.
The comet's duration is short-lived, possibly paralleling a short-lived relationship.
I looked for you in all them usual places
The speaker searched for the person in familiar places, but they may have been like a ghost, elusive.
But maybe you were just a ghost.
Speculation that the person may not have been tangible or real.
Out on twilight road, light's a comfort there.
On Twilight Road, light provides comfort.
An unseen hand brushes my hair.

Must be the wind. Nobody's here but me

I never even kissed you.
Reiteration of not having kissed the other person.
I never even kissed you, Baby...
Final repetition of not having kissed the other person, expressing a missed opportunity.
