Leave the Light On
Chasing Shadows: Jordana's Plea for Connection in 'Leave the Light On'
Lyrics
Call your phone
Initiating contact by calling your phone
I can hardly wait
Expressing eagerness and anticipation
I'm lying here for you
Lying in wait or anticipation for your arrival
I'm ready for you
Prepared or mentally/emotionally ready for your presence
Hey
A greeting or an attention-grabbing interjection
I keep tryna reel it in, but
Attempting to control emotions or feelings
I can feel the fear and doubt, it's
Sensing and experiencing feelings of fear and uncertainty
Stepping right through me
Feeling overwhelmed by fear and doubt
I'll lay it out for you
Willingness to be honest and transparent with you
And I don't mean to move far from this
Desire to stay close emotionally
But I can't tell if you're slipping for real
Uncertain about your feelings, unsure if you're genuinely losing interest
I'll leave the light on
Promise to keep a light on, symbolically waiting for your return or presence
Leave the light on
Reiteration of the commitment to keeping the light on
Looking at the start when you ran it so real
Reflecting on the past when the relationship felt authentic
Where'd you go?
Questioning the disappearance or distance in the relationship
Now you won't step into something that's so real
Reluctance to engage in something genuine due to uncertainty or fear
Where'd it go?
Wondering where the genuine connection has gone
I keep tryna hold it in, but
Struggling to contain emotions or feelings
Already I'm needing, wanting
Already feeling a strong need or desire for your presence
I'll leave the light on
Reaffirming the commitment to waiting for your return
Leave the light on
Repetition of the promise to keep the light on
Right when all my lines have filled up, you come around calling for me
Expressing readiness for your approach despite feeling emotionally full or overwhelmed
You say I'm impatient
Being labeled as impatient, possibly due to the eagerness for your presence
But you're so frustrating
Expressing frustration with your behavior or actions
