Lyrics
When the night came and took us
Reflecting on a moment when the night changed something for the speaker and others.
And the jukebox was turned up
The music in the environment was loud and prominent.
With the light of our choices
The consequences of choices made were illuminated by light.
We did not lose our voices
Despite the circumstances, the ability to express oneself was retained.
And the songs barely left us
The impact of songs lingered, leaving a lasting impression.
And the waitress caught her breath
A moment of pause or surprise for the waitress in the midst of the events.
We rose to the surface
Emerging from a challenging situation and coming to the forefront.
To fulfill our purpose
Acting in alignment with one's purpose or mission.
As we walked past some staring
Encountering others who were observing or judging.
I noticed you daring
Acknowledging the courage or boldness of a companion.
Eyes to be carrying
Recognizing the emotions conveyed in the eyes.
That smile you've been wearing
Appreciating a consistent and joyful expression worn by someone.
In the graze of those screams
Amidst intense or loud expressions, a decision was made to break free.
We decided to go free
Choosing liberation or freedom.
In the haze of our dreams we
In the unclear or dreamlike state, possibilities became apparent.
Saw possibilities
Seeing potential opportunities in the haziness of dreams.
And in a week maybe less you
Within a short period, preparations were made to depart.
Were packing your bags to
Packing belongings as a precursor to leaving.
Leave, while you still knew
Departing while retaining a clear understanding of one's reasons.
The reasons you needed to
A reminder of the importance of understanding one's motivations.
On the way to the train you
Observing a transformed or rejuvenated version of the companion on the way to the train.
You seemed to be brand new
A sense of renewal or transformation during the journey.
With your hair flowing through
The visual image of hair flowing through an open window under the moonlight.
The open window to, the moon
Connecting a moment with the ambiance of the moonlit night.
In front of the station
A description of a specific location - in front of the train station.
Someone who was waitin'
Noticing someone waiting for a lover at the station.
For his lover to wave to him
A moment of tragedy where someone waiting is knocked down.
Got knocked to the pavement
The cause of the incident involves an ambulance.
By the ambulance light
The vivid imagery of an ambulance light, indicating heightened awareness.
We decided to stay awake
A choice to remain awake, driven by a fear of missing a meeting or encounter.
For fear that we wouldn't meet
The motivation behind staying awake - the desire to meet someone new.
Someone else to greet
The anticipation or hope of encountering another person.
