About This Track

'Until the Light' by Lights is a 2017 pop track from the album 'Skin&Earth'. The lyrics frame a late, urgent encounter, with a narrator listening as someone arrives and they “run away like always”, urging the other person to keep moving until morning. It is a defiant, forward-leaning stance, built around the idea of resisting what comes next and holding to a shared plan, even as tomorrow closes in and optimism is made to feel effortless.

"Until the Light" is a track by Lights, from the album Skin&Earth, released 21st September 2017. The track is 3:26 long. It's filed under Pop. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about Lights.

Lyrics

Until the Light

I hear when you pull up
Calling from the pickup
I'm tripping down the hallway
You lookin' like a vision
You're talkin' and I listen
We run away like always

So cut the headlights
Keep rolling 'til the sun
We'll fight the good fight
When tomorrow has come
And it's easy pretending we're alright
'Cause we live free, at least...

Until the light
Until the light
('Cause we live free)
Until the light
Until the light
('Cause we live free)

Speeding on the end roads
Surfin' out the window
There's a fire in your eyes
It's hard to say what I know
Or leaving when I wanna go
'Cause every time a piece of me dies

So cut the headlights
Keep rolling 'til the sun
We'll fight the good fight
When tomorrow has come
And it's easy pretending we're alright
'Cause we live free, at least...

Until the light
Until the light
('Cause we live free)
Until the light
Until the light
('Cause we live free)

'Cause we live free
At least until the light

We waste time we'll never get back
I don't care, don't wanna go back
I love you, I know you knew that
I don't love the way you do that

So cut the headlights
Keep rolling 'til the sun
We'll fight the good fight
When tomorrow has come
And it's easy pretending we're alright
'Cause we live free, at least...

Until the light
Until the light
('Cause we live free)
Until the light (until the light)
Until the light
('Cause we live free)

Until the light
Until the light
Go on, go on 'til the light
'Til the light
Until the light
Until the light
