Ask her when you're upstairs later on

With her eyes bowing down and her last light gone
Describing a moment of sadness or resignation, with her eyes downcast and the last light gone.
You looked up to her window from the backyard dusk,
Observing her window from the backyard at dusk, suggesting a clandestine or private encounter.
Hired as a shot, lingered as a crush.
Metaphorical reference to being hired as a shot, lingering as a crush, possibly implying a fleeting but impactful experience.
Stake me when I'm running and I'll stay down.

See, I've only had a photograph to drag around.

Would you take another trip with a candle like her?
Proposing another journey with a candle, symbolizing hope or light, and asking to witness the destruction of a promise.
Strike another promise and watch it burn.

Someone drove off slow.
Noting someone leaving slowly, possibly highlighting the theme of departure.
Another left the day before.
Acknowledging another departure, emphasizing a recurring pattern.
Time was saved,
Time passed without significant change.
But not a thing was changed.
Despite the passage of time, there was no tangible transformation.

It's low and it's bright and it won't be known

Till you wake up to the sound of the light below

Did you lose her mercy on some torn-down friend?

Half of nothing wasted and split again
Describing a situation of waste and division in a relationship.
If one of us had shown up,
Pondering the impact of one's presence, faded but still attempting.

Waiting for some rain,
Waiting for improvement or renewal, with rain symbolizing positive change.
Not a thing would change.
Highlighting the paradox that even with waiting, nothing would change.
