Lyrics

Once was enough

Reflecting on a past experience that was sufficient

Realized everything turns to dust

Understanding that everything eventually fades or ends

Everything to dust

Reiteration of the concept that all things disintegrate or vanish

I lied in your words

Not being truthful within the context of your words or message

When you said everyone has to go

Recollection of someone stating the inevitability of departure for everyone

Everybody goes

Emphasizing the universal nature of departure or passing away


When the night is falling I can barely look in your eyes

Feeling unable to make direct eye contact during a moment of darkness or difficulty

I wanna say a thousand things that I could never describe

Desiring to express numerous thoughts or feelings that are beyond verbal explanation


I wanted everything to never end

Longing for experiences to continue indefinitely

Can we start again and leave a light on

Asking for the opportunity to restart and keep a guiding beacon or hope alive

Leave a light on

Expressing the intent to maintain a light, a symbol of hope or assurance

I waited every day, you never came

Waiting consistently but being disappointed by someone's absence

To set it straight, I'll leave a light on (leave a light on)

Committing to keeping hope alive despite the absence

Leave a light on

Reiteration of the commitment to maintain hope or a guiding light


Her face in a crowd

Recollection of a memory of a person's face in a multitude, now fading

Faded now but I can't figure out

Difficulty in understanding or comprehending the fading memory

I can't figure out

Continuing struggle to comprehend the fading memory

Alone with the smell

Feeling alone amidst the lingering scent of someone's hands

Of your hands, never was enough

Recognition that the previous experience or presence was insufficient

Never was enough

Reiteration that the previous experience or presence was insufficient


When the night is falling I can barely look in your eyes

Difficulty in making eye contact during a dark or challenging period

I wanna say a thousand things that I could never describe

Desire to express numerous thoughts or feelings beyond verbal description


I wanted everything to never end

Desiring for experiences to be perpetual or unending

Can we start again and leave a light on

Requesting the chance to restart and maintain a guiding light

Leave a light on

Expressing the intent to uphold a symbol of hope or assurance

I waited every day, you never came

Continued waiting in anticipation of someone who never arrives

To set it straight, I'll leave a light on (leave a light on)

Committing to maintaining hope despite the absence

Leave a light on

Reiteration of the commitment to maintain hope or a guiding light


Every time I look in your eyes

Recognition that the person being looked at is the sole reliable individual to contact

I know that you're the only one I can call

Acknowledging that the person being addressed is the only dependable one to reach out to

Do you realize that for me

Realization that, for oneself, the person never truly disappeared

You never really went at all?


I wanted everything to never end

Requesting the chance to restart and maintain a guiding light

Can we start again and leave a light on

Expressing the intent to uphold a symbol of hope or assurance

Leave a light on

Continued waiting in anticipation of someone who never arrives

I waited every day, you never came

Committing to maintaining hope despite the absence

To set it straight, I'll leave a light on

Reiteration of the commitment to maintain hope or a guiding light

Light on

Affirmation of keeping a light or hope alive
