What does the song light on by David Cook mean?

Answer 1

Never really said too much, Afraid it wouldn't be enough, Just try to keep my spirits up, but there's no point in grieving,

Doesn't matter anyway, cause words will never make me stay, words with never take my place when you know I'm leaving,

Try to leave the light on when I'm gone, something I rely on to get home, One I can feel at night, a naked light, a fire to keep me warm,

Try to leave a light on when I'm gone, even in the day light, shine on, when It's late at night you can look inside you won't feel so alone,

You know we've been down that road, a thousand times before, my back to a closing door and mt eyes to the seasons,

That roll out underneath my heals, and you don't know how bad it feels, to leave the only one, that i have ever believed in,

Try to leave a light on when I'm gone, something I rely on to get home, one i can feel at night, a naked light, a fire to keep me warm,

Try to leave the light on when I'm gone, even in the day light shine on, when it's late at night you can look inside you won't feel so alone, ooh yeah!!!!

Sometimes i feel we've run out of luck, when the signals keep on breaking up, when wires cross in my brain, you'll start my heart again when I come along,Yeah!!!!

Try to leave the light on when I'm gone, something I rely on to get home, one at night, a naked light a fire to keep me warm,

Try to leave a light on when I'm gone, even in the day light shine on, when it's late at night you can look inside and you won't feel so alone,

Try to leave the light on when I'm gone, even in the day light shine on, when it's late at night you can look inside you won't feel so alone.! (:oI

Answer 2

David knew a little boy who was on his way home one night (on a bike) he was almost home but got hit by a car. Usually the little boys parents would leave the porch light on so it's easier for the kid to get home. This one particular night they didn't. It had nothing to do with his death but it was still odd.
