Lyrics
Have you ever seen the lights
Expressing inquiry about witnessing remarkable phenomena
Fall from the heavens
Describing lights falling from the sky, possibly metaphorical
All those colors spinning in your eyes
Depicting vibrant colors swirling in someone's vision
I just call it heaven
Referring to the experience as heavenly
Well I stayed up most every night
Narrating staying awake frequently to observe falling stars
And watched those stars fall down
Continuation of observing celestial events
Take my coat, and steal my pride
Offering personal items metaphorically, vulnerability
Most things go in the flash of blinding light
Highlighting the transient nature of most things
Oh, blinding light
Reiteration of the intense and dazzling nature of light
I felt the warmth from your heart
Expressing feeling the warmth from someone's heart
But I didn't know your loving
Realizing lack of understanding of the person's love
Well those are fine pretty words
Acknowledging positive words but questioning their sincerity
But they don't mean nothing
Asserting that words alone hold no significance
And all I asked is for something true
Requesting genuine and authentic actions
But all you gave is doubt
Expressing disappointment in receiving doubt instead of truth
Hold my breath and wear my shoes
Metaphorically putting oneself in another's position
Don't forget your god's gonna see right through
Emphasizing the inevitability of divine insight and truth
So better speak the truth
Encouraging honesty due to the certainty of divine scrutiny
Have you ever seen the lights
Repeating the initial inquiry about witnessing extraordinary lights
Fall from the heavens
Reiterating the concept of lights falling from the sky
You shoulda said, Emma
Addressing someone named Emma, suggesting a departure
You'd be leaving instead
Expressing regret about Emma leaving
Kiss your cross and call it good
Using religious imagery, possibly reflecting on consequences
Did you see the lights
Prompting reflection on witnessing lights
Keep my soul and drain my blood
Metaphorically expressing emotional depletion
When you're old, well, the light's gonna show you God
Anticipating a revelation or enlightenment in old age
