Lyrics
Oh Gracie can we stay up late?
Expressing a desire to stay awake with Gracie for an extended period.
I was hoping we could conversate
Wishing to have a conversation with Gracie.
About the time that past
Reflecting on past times.
The screams that last
Acknowledging lingering emotional pain or distress.
How the sun sets on a broken heart and
Describing the impact of heartbreak as the sun sets.
Oh boy, I've done it again
Admitting a repeated mistake or failure in love.
I fell in love with all your friends
Confessing to falling in love with Gracie's friends.
And it's hard to define, baby that's life
Recognizing the difficulty of defining love, accepting it as a part of life.
We've all made it on to the list one time but
Noting that everyone has been on a list of mistakes at least once.
Say Goodnight but leave the light on
Suggesting saying goodnight but keeping the light on to avoid darkness.
Cause I've seen too much sleeping around in the dark
Expressing discomfort with secrets and hidden actions in the dark.
Say goodnight but leave the light on
Reiterating the idea of saying goodnight with the light on for emotional openness.
Gracie, I just want to feel again
Expressing a desire to experience emotions again through Gracie.
Lay beside me when you feel the need to end your silent spree
Inviting Gracie to be close during moments of emotional struggle.
but never mention him to me
Asking Gracie not to mention someone specific during these times.
Wait a minute Gracie I just have to tell you everything
Expressing a need to share everything with Gracie.
It doesn't matter what I think, learn to abide nice and on time but
Emphasizing that opinions don't matter; focus on being kind and punctual.
Say Goodnight but leave the light on
Repeating the idea of saying goodnight with the light on for emotional security.
Cause I've seen too much sleeping around in the dark
Reiterating discomfort with secrets and hidden actions in the dark.
Say goodnight but leave the light on
Continuing the theme of saying goodnight with the light on for emotional openness.
Gracie, I just want to feel again
Expressing a desire to feel emotions again through Gracie.
Now you never say that you are leaving town, turn around
Expressing concern about Gracie leaving town without communication.
Please don't make me say how I feel and that it's bad right now
Requesting Gracie not to force a discussion about negative feelings.
Turn around - say you're sorry
Asking Gracie to turn around and apologize.
Say Goodnight but leave the light on
Repeating the idea of saying goodnight with the light on to avoid darkness.
Cause I've seen too much sleeping around in the dark
Reiterating discomfort with secrets and hidden actions in the dark.
Say goodnight but leave the light on
Continuing the theme of saying goodnight with the light on for emotional openness.
Gracie, I just want to feel again
Expressing a desire to feel emotions again through Gracie.
