Lyrics
When you see the light
When you experience enlightenment or understanding
You could imagine
Imagining possibilities or potential
Where you can go
Considering destinations or opportunities
And when you walk outside
Upon stepping outside
You could've had it
Missed opportunities or unfulfilled potential
You felt alone
Feeling isolated or lonely
You felt alone
Reiteration of loneliness
So why'd you say those words to him
Questioning words spoken to someone
If you could start over again
Desire for a fresh start
When you asked for this
Asking for a particular experience
It was a gift, yeah
Referring to a given experience as a gift
They let you have
Permission or opportunity granted
And once you've seen the light
After enlightenment, recalling past experiences
You will remember (you will remember!)
Memorable recollection
Where you could go (you will remember!)
Recalling potential destinations
When you would go away
When departing or going away
So why'd you say those words to him
Repetition of questioning past words spoken
If you could start over again
Expressing a desire for a new beginning
Yeah, you turn it around
Turning a situation around for reflection
And see how they came to be there
Understanding the origins of a situation
Oh, but you've never seen
Lack of experience in certain aspects of life
The lives in between
Unseen aspects or moments in life
No they won't care
Indifference or lack of concern from others
No they won't care
Reiteration of others' indifference
And when you tell those words to him
Advising to choose words carefully when speaking to someone
Be sure to start over again
Emphasizing the importance of starting anew
And when you tell those words to him
Reiteration of advising to choose words carefully
Just be sure to start over again
Stressing the need for a fresh start in communication
Yeah, just be sure to start over again.
Emphasizing the importance of beginning again
