The girl has gone to New York and left him behind.
[Possible corrections- "nights" and "ache"]
"The lone neon (n/l)ights and the ache of the ocean
and the fire that was starting to spark
I miss it all, from the love to the lightning"
"If our hearts are never broken THEN there's no joy in the mending
THOUGH there's distance and there's silence...."
[I thought the correct lyrics were "lone neon nights", as in nights in the city by yourself. I think the word is also "ache" instead of heat... it's got a little irish accent on it ("eche") and ache is used in a lot of gL songs.]
They had a very passionate relationship and perhaps fought often [love is love... lightning is fighting]
and by the end we know the passion is gone [the fire that was starting to go out.]
Second verse:
"IN the arms" instead of "of the arms".
I also thought it was "us" instead of "thus" but both make sense...
[Possible corrections- "and" and "mad"]
"Just give me a sign
there's an end and a beginning
to the quiet chaos driving me mad"
He's unsure if the relationship is really over or not... he still loves her and is battling to give up his feelings but cannot.
The emotion is expressed perfectly and we get the most accurate decsription of that desperate-wishful feeling ("quiet chaos".)
Beautifully written song.
