Lyrics and translation

Original

When dawn comes back, I won't trust the light

'Cause everything it shines on has to say goodbye

When dawn comes back, I won't laugh at the sun

Or the waves when they bend and pretend that they won't come undone

We'll play it back in stereo, I want you by my side

Soak it up enough, and we can hold on to the light

Hold on to the light

We'll play it back in stereo, I want you by my side

Soak it up enough, and we can hold on to the light

Hold on to the light (yeah)

Well, if I take a picture, could I stop it in its tracks?

I know, I know there's nothin' I can do to bring it back

The light that comes in, well, it tends to just go where it wants

Why do I write it down? Will it ever be enough?

We lift up all the memories, can we carry on the love?

'Cause the light, when it bends as it falls through the lens

And pretends that it won't come undone

We'll play it back in stereo, I want you by my side

Soak it up enough, and we can hold on to the light

Hold on to the light

We'll play it back in stereo, I want you by my side

Soak it up enough, and we can hold on to the light

Hold on to the light

We'll play it back in stereo, I want you by my side

Soak it up enough, and we can hold on to the light

Hold on to the light

Hold on to the light
