Lyrics
And the headlights on the highway cannot help me understand
Expresses the inability of the headlights on the highway to provide understanding.
Whatever it is you need
Uncertainty about the speaker's understanding of the other person's needs.
I pray I am
A hopeful prayer that the speaker can fulfill the other person's needs.
You were nothing but a smile
Describes the other person as a source of joy and positivity.
A nervous laughter
Highlights a carefree and lighthearted demeanor of the other person.
Spend the evenings in your dark blue cotton sheets
Depicts intimate moments spent together in the comfort of dark blue cotton sheets.
And I spent years it seems just wandering through the darkness
Expresses a period of aimless wandering and searching in the speaker's life.
Then the answer came on that late summer breeze
Revelation or insight came to the speaker during a late summer breeze.
And the headlights on the highway cannot help me understand
Reiterates the theme of the inability of headlights to provide understanding.
Whatever it is you need
Reiterates the uncertainty about the other person's needs.
I pray I am
A repetition of the hopeful prayer to meet the other person's needs.
With my fingertips I trace on your bare skin
Describes a tactile and intimate connection with the other person.
All of the things I'd like to say but cannot speak
Expresses the speaker's difficulty in verbalizing their feelings.
You mean everything
Declares the significance of the other person in the speaker's life.
There're not quite words enough to tell you
Acknowledges the inadequacy of words to fully express the other person's importance.
All the things that you've become for me
Reflects on the transformative role of the other person in the speaker's life.
And the headlights on the highway cannot help me understand
Reiterates the theme of the limitations of headlights in providing understanding.
Whatever it is you need
Restates uncertainty about the other person's needs.
I pray I am
Repeats the hopeful prayer for the speaker to fulfill the other person's needs.
And I don't need no secrets
Rejects the need for secrecy and embraces honesty.
I give up on lies
Commits to abandoning deceit and falsehood.
If it's gonna rain I'd rather know then be caught blind
Expresses a preference for knowing the truth, even if it is difficult.
And the headlights on the highway cannot help me understand
Reiterates the theme of the inability of headlights to provide understanding.
Whatever it is you need
Reiterates the uncertainty about the other person's needs.
I pray I am

And the headlights on the highway cannot help me understand

Whatever it is you need

I pray I am
