Lyrics
See you standing there by the car
Observing someone standing near a car
You know the night's not too far
Aware that the night is approaching
A day you needed most
Referencing a significant day for the person
Staring through the canyons
Gazing through the canyons of the California coast
Of a California coast
Continuing the visual description of the surroundings
Then the light fades
Transitioning into a fading light
Colors start to change
Noticing colors changing as the light fades
Further down the highway
Heading further down the highway with a companion
With you
Expressing a shared experience with someone
The sun sets soon
Awareness of the imminent sunset
Over you
Referencing the setting sun over the person
What can I do
Expressing a sense of helplessness or uncertainty
Don't you know
Asserting the need for understanding
I need you so
Expressing a deep need for the person
Like indigo
Comparing the need to the color indigo, symbolizing depth
What if we never fall asleep
Raising a hypothetical scenario of not falling asleep
We're living in the dream
Suggesting a state of living in a dreamlike reality
Watching the miles drift away
Observing the passing of miles
Got this feeling inside
Feeling a profound emotion inside
That time cannot hide
Believing that time cannot conceal the feeling of love
Love's a live wire
Describing love as a dynamic and energetic force
The sun sets soon
Reiterating the approaching sunset
Over you
Repeating the acknowledgment of the sunset over the person
What can I do
Expressing a sense of helplessness or uncertainty
Don't you know
Reiterating the deep need for the person
I need you so
Emphasizing the intensity of the emotional connection
Like indigo
Comparing the need to the color indigo, symbolizing depth
The sun sets soon
Reiterating the approaching sunset
Over you
Repeating the acknowledgment of the sunset over the person
What can I do
Expressing a sense of helplessness or uncertainty
Don't you know
Reiterating the deep need for the person
I need you so
Emphasizing the intensity of the emotional connection
Like indigo
Comparing the need to the color indigo, symbolizing depth
