Lyrics

I find shelter in this way

I find solace and protection in this manner.

Under cover hideaway

Seeking refuge in a concealed and private place.

And can you hear when I say

Asking if the listener can comprehend when I express.

I have never felt this way?

Conveying an unprecedented depth of emotion.


Maybe I had said something that was wrong

Reflecting on the possibility of making amends for a previous mistake.

Can I make it better with the lights turned on?

Wondering if turning on the lights can improve the situation.

Maybe I had said something that was wrong

Acknowledging the potential of having made an error.

Can I make it better with the lights turned on?

Questioning whether illumination can remedy the situation.


Could I be? Was I there?

Contemplating existence and self-awareness.

It felt so crystal in the air

Recalling a moment of clarity and purity in the atmosphere.

I still want to drown whenever you leave

Expressing a deep emotional response to the departure of a significant other.

Please teach me gently how to breathe

Pleading for guidance on coping with the emotional turmoil.


And I'll cross oceans like never before

Committing to extraordinary efforts for the sake of shared emotions.

So you can feel the way I feel it too

Desiring a mutual understanding of emotions.

And I'll mirror images back at you

Reflecting emotions back to the listener through shared experiences.

So you can see the way I feel it too

Creating a visual representation of shared emotions.


Maybe I had said something that was wrong

Reiterating the possibility of a past mistake.

Can I make it better with the lights turned on?

Questioning if illumination can rectify the situation.

Maybe I had said something that was wrong

Acknowledging the potential of having made an error.

Can I make it better with the lights turned on?

Wondering if turning on the lights can improve the situation.


Maybe I had said something that was wrong

Admitting the possibility of a past mistake.

Can I make it better with the lights turned on?

Questioning whether illumination can remedy the situation.

Maybe I had said something that was wrong

Acknowledging the potential of having made an error.

Can I make it better with the lights turned on?

Wondering if turning on the lights can improve the situation.

Maybe I had said something that was wrong

Admitting the possibility of a past mistake.

Can I make it better with the lights turned on?

Questioning whether illumination can remedy the situation.
