Signs of Light Lyrics

I'll wait by your bed for signs of light
They say that you're gone
But I know you're alright
I wanna be there when you open your eyes
It's been so long
You've been barely alive
When you sleep, what do you dream?
I need to know you're thinking of me

Going to bed alone again
Don't know when you're coming home again
Going to bed alone again
Don't know when you're coming home again

I'll wait by your bed for signs of light
They say that you're gone
But I know you're alright
I wanna be there when you open your eyes
It's been so long
You've been barely alive
When you sleep, what do you dream?
I need to know you're thinking of me
I need to know you're thinking of me

I should've called you to hold on
You gotta fix yourself up before taking off
'Cause it's you, it's you that you're running from
It's you, it's you that keeps hanging on

'Cause it's you, it's you that you're running from
It's you, it's you that keeps hanging on

I need to know you're thinking of me
I need to know you're thinking of me

What is the Meaning of Signs of Light?

In this poignant track, The Head and the Heart delve into the emotional turmoil of waiting for a loved one to recover from a profound struggle, possibly illness or depression. The lyrics oscillate between hope and despair, as the narrator stands vigil, yearning for any "signs of light" indicating improvement. This metaphor not only speaks to physical recovery but also symbolizes a rekindling of spirit and connection. The recurring plea to know if they are remembered in dreams underscores a deep fear of emotional detachment and loss. Ultimately, the song reflects on self-confrontation and the internal battles that one must overcome to reconnect with those they love. #EmotionalStruggle #Recovery #Connection
