until the light blinds us
Fragments of Love and Longing
Lyrics
Light the candle you got for me all those years ago
Reflecting on a past gift, possibly a candle, received years ago.
I still think about it when i'm alone
Recurring thoughts about the past gift when alone.
That night you promise to stay up with me but you never did
Recalling a broken promise of staying up together.

I just

Just wanna wake up

I hope you stay

Self-reflection on naivety in the past.
Hide my hands in the sleeves
Action of hiding hands in sleeves, possibly to conceal vulnerability.
So you can't tell when i'm shaking

I carried you back to your place
Recollection of assisting the person while intoxicated and scared.
Drunk and afraid
Specific incident of being pushed down stairs, indicating a troubled relationship.
You pushed me down the stairs again
Expressing dislike for the person's altered mental state.
I hate it when you get so out of your head
Disapproval of the person forgetting previous conversations.
That you forget all the things we said
Empty line, possibly emphasizing a pause or contemplation.

How could I have been so naive
Continued reflection on past naivety regarding the person's emotions.
Hide my hands in the sleeves
Repetition of hiding hands in sleeves, emphasizing the theme of concealment.
