Light 'em up, light 'em up, tell me where you are, tell me where you are The summer nights, the bright lights and the shooting stars They break my heart I'm calling you now but you're not picking up Your shadow's so close if you're still in love Then light a match, light a match, baby in the dark Show me where you are Oh love, how I miss you every single day when I see you on those streets Oh love, tell me there's a river I could swim that would bring you back to me Cause I don't know how to love someone else, I don't know how to forget your face Oh love, God I miss you every single day now You're so far away It's breaking me, I'm losing you We were far from perfect, but we were worth it Too many fights and we cried but never said we're sorry Stop saying you love me You're calling me now but I can't pick up Your shadow's too close and I'm still in love But summer's over now and somehow it still breaks my heart We could've had the stars Oh love, how I miss you every single day when I see you on those streets Oh love, tell me there's a river I could swim that will bring you back to me Cause I don't know how to love someone else I don't know how to forget your face All up God, I miss you every single day now You're so far away Oh love, how I miss you every single day when I see you out on the street Oh love, tell me there's a river I could swim that would bring you back to me Cause I don't know how to love someone else, I don't know how to forget your face Oh love, gotta miss you every single day when you're so far away
The lyrics seem to be about a person who has lost their love and is longing for their return. They are expressing their pain, missing the person in various ways, and reflecting on the relationship that had its flaws but was still valuable.
