Today I died,
in search of you,
It takes a cut,
to heal a wound,
And I don’t even understand it,
Things didn’t go
the way I planned it,
But these neon lights
lead me to you/
And I don’t know
what I was told,
Or why I walked
the darkest roads,
But now these eyes,
see streets of gold/
Burn me bright,
or let me go,
Make me stronger
on the inside,
Hold me tight,
or just let go,
‘Cause I don’t want it,
if I can’t glow/(shine)/
My heart has grown
right next to You,
Your steady hands,
have pulled me through,
And every now and then
I’ll see it,
A glimpse of what
my life is meaning,
But to do it right,
you must let go, oh-oh/
And I don’t know
what I was told,
Or why I walked
the darkest roads,
But now these eyes,
see streets of gold/
Burn me bright, or let me go,
Make me stronger on the inside,
Hold me tight, or just let go,
Cause I don’t want it, if I can’t glow/

Behind the Song:In this song, the lyrics, "I don't want it if I can't glow," are referring to that unquenchable thirst we have to want what's real. We're fed up with fake, and surrounded by counterfeit. In my life, I've seen what is empty and what is real, and I've made my decision. We are not broken, we are surrounded by choices that we can only make on our own. "Glow" is symbolism for what is real. - Trevor McNevan
