Lyrics

I'm sick of second chances

Expressing frustration or weariness with repeated opportunities for redemption.

Cigarettes turn to ashes

Metaphorically representing the transience of pleasure or relief through the consumption of cigarettes.

I'm standing under street signs

Physically present in familiar locations, possibly contemplating one's life journey.

To know the places I've been my whole life

Reflecting on the familiarity and history associated with the places visited throughout one's life.

I watch the hours pass us

Observing time passing by, possibly emphasizing the fleeting nature of moments.

Another one burns to ashes

Symbolizing the inevitable end or destruction of something, mirroring the transient nature of life.

I'm waiting for your phone call

Anticipating a significant communication, possibly seeking help or support.

To come and save me so you can break my fall

Desiring rescue from a difficult situation, while acknowledging the potential for further disappointment.


I will stand outside, wait for you to come find me

Expressing a commitment to waiting for someone despite challenges.

I will keep on my light by my bed till you get home

Symbolizing the presence of hope or guidance while waiting for the return of a significant person.

And I won't sleep tonight, till you get home

Declaring a determination to stay awake until the person of importance returns.

I won't sleep tonight, till you get home

Reiterating the resolve not to sleep until the awaited person arrives.


My bed light's burning brighter

Metaphorically depicting the intensity of longing or yearning through a burning light.

Worn out like a boxing fighter

Comparing oneself to a worn-out fighter, possibly indicating emotional exhaustion.

You've got me fighting pillows

Imagery of fighting with inanimate objects, suggesting inner turmoil.

My eyes just won't close till you're at my side

Expressing difficulty in finding peace or rest until the desired person is present.

The hours slip to morning

Highlighting the passage of time until morning without the desired company.

I see the sun coming up

Acknowledging the dawn and the beginning of a new day.

I'm turning off the TV

Turning away from distractions, possibly to focus on the absence of the awaited person.

I'm watching faster than you gave up on me

Indicating a sense of urgency, feeling time passing quickly while waiting.


I will stand outside, wait for you to come find me

Reiterating the commitment to wait outdoors for the return of the significant person.

I will keep on my light by my bed till you get home

Maintaining a symbolic light to guide the awaited person home.

And I won't sleep tonight, till you get home

Expressing the determination not to sleep until the awaited person arrives.

I won't sleep tonight, till you get home

Reiterating the commitment to stay awake until the desired person returns.


I got your letters that you sent to me

Receiving and acknowledging communication, possibly letters, from the distant person.

And it feel likes summer

Evoking a positive or nostalgic feeling, reminiscent of the warmth associated with summer.

But your far away from me

Expressing the emotional distance between the speaker and the person they long for.

When I need you here

Expressing a need for the physical presence of the desired person.


I will stand outside, wait for you to come find me

Reiterating the commitment to wait outside for the return of the significant person.

I will keep on my light by my bed till you get home

Maintaining a symbolic light to guide the awaited person home.

And I won't (I won't) sleep tonight, till you get home

Reaffirming the resolve not to sleep until the awaited person arrives.

I won't (I won't) sleep tonight, till you get home

Reiterating the commitment to stay awake until the desired person returns.
