No Picture Guitar Man Lead Player	#1 by Guitar Man at Oct 2, 2007 at 7:01 PM EST
	this song is amazing. i can't wait for the new cd.

No Picture marvin Lead Player	#2 by marvin at Oct 3, 2007 at 5:13 AM EST
	Why'd they release 2 singles with the word "light" in them?... Just a random thought. hah

No Picture Jordan Average	#3 by Jordan S. at Oct 3, 2007 at 7:15 AM EST
	"Let me light up the sky Light it up for you Let me tell you why I would die for you" this always make me cry... would he really die for someone?

No Picture Jeff Average	#4 by Jeff Berg at Oct 3, 2007 at 6:46 PM EST
	This is an awesome song.....it makes me cry, because I think about my exboyfriend who I still love. :'(((((

No Picture (DDD Bass Gu Rhythm Player	#5 by (DDD Bass Guitar/Backup Vocals) Jeff Fritts at Oct 3, 2007 at 9:31 PM EST
	yeah i thought of that too. i am really impressed with this album, i didn't really like the last one.

No Picture ~Ivy Loves Shav Rhythm Player	#6 by ~Ivy Loves Shavo~ at Oct 4, 2007 at 7:01 AM EST
	I think that this song may have something to do with Ryan's Break up with Kelly Clarkson due to the fact he talks about this girl with a broken heart and well Clarkson has produced some very public declarations of her broken heart. Just a thought and wanted to see what people thought

No Picture Tyler Wanna Be	#7 by Tyler Swagar at Oct 4, 2007 at 11:48 AM EST
	not bad, still think ocean avenue was better album, obvious a love song, but I get a sense it's about a girl he loves who only midly likes him, but still obviously either dating or..

No Picture the white hendr Badass	#8 by the white hendrix at Oct 4, 2007 at 3:01 PM EST
	Yeah totally, when i first read this it did remind me of the finale. Great love song reminds of a girl who i tried to get from 8th to 12 grade and even longer. she said she always felt the same way. but she went her ways and never her saw her again.

No Picture Oliver Average	#9 by Oliver Taylor at Oct 4, 2007 at 10:27 PM EST
	Originally I didnt like this song too much, i thought the chorus was too overplayed, but after a few listens its really catchy and I love it. Song meaning is obvious, lol.

No Picture Dark Lead Player	#10 by Dark Avenger at Oct 6, 2007 at 2:49 AM EST
	Ok...he talks about running in the dark twice, so basically being blind to everything around. He talks about disguises, playing a part, and putting up walls. I think basically he is saying that she is afraid to be who she is and she acts fake, but he knows better cause he used to be the same way. So I think he just wants to light up her sky so that she realizes how great she is and so that she changes. And he loves her enought to even sacrifice himself just so that she shows everyone who she really is and so that she would be happy and stop living with a hidden broken heart. Just my thoughts...but i'm probably wrong...

No Picture kyle Average	#11 by kyle sharpshooter at Oct 7, 2007 at 7:08 PM EST
	First when i heard this song i thought it wasn't as good as fighting and it kinda disappointed me when they say they're goign to release it as the first single. but when i heard more of it it sounded more and more aweseom and it started to give me shivers!! i think the Paper Walls is going to be really good. I think Ryan is writing a song about his career since he moved to LA and its hard to be who you are when you're among all this 'lights and sounds'. He's trying to find peace and to save those whose hearts have been broken?!?! i know this doesn't make sense, but anyway...

No Picture ScumFucBondage Average	#12 by ScumFucBondage bumsex at Oct 9, 2007 at 7:26 AM EST
	Here are the corrections : "Light Up The Sky" You're making choice to live like this, And all of the noise, I am silence. We already know how it ends tonight, You run in the dark through a firefight. And I would explode just to save your life, Yeah I would explode. Let me light up the sky, Light it up for you. Let me tell you why, I would die for you. Let me light up the sky. I can't find a wall to pin this to, Their all coming down since I've found you. I just wanna be where you are tonight. I run in the dark looking for some light, And how will we know if we just don't try, We won't ever know. Let me light up the sky, Light it up for you. Let me tell you why, I would die for you. Let me light up the sky, Light it up for you. Let me make this mine, I'll ignite for you. Let me light up the sky, Just for you tonight. Let me help you fly, Cause you won't have time. Cover your eyes, Get your disguise, They won't ask you why, They just watch you die. And it's still so hard to be who you are, So you play this part, The show goes on. You've come this far with a broken heart, Yeah you've come this far, And you've broken. Let me light up the sky, Light it up for you. Let me tell you why, I would die for you. Let me light up the sky, Light it up for you. Let me make this mine, I'll ignite for you, I'll ignite for you. Let me light up the sky, Light it up for you. Let me tell you why, I would die for you. And it's still so hard to be who you are, But you've come this far with a broken heart. And it's still so hard to be who you are, But you've come this far with a broken... Light up the sky, Let me light up the sky. Thanks to Michael (im_addicted_2_u1@hotmail.com) for these lyrics [ www.plyrics.com ]

No Picture kev Average	#13 by kev fitzgerald at Oct 10, 2007 at 4:59 AM EST
	This is a very interesting song. I'm not sure what fire fight means though, probably doesn't really mean anything I would guess. Or I think he may just be saying something to do w/war? But those are all just guesses. This song is so romantic! Honestly, it's really beautiful & sweet for him to say that he'd die for the girl he loves-not the least bit morbid to me, though.

No Picture Rob Average	#14 by Rob Jones at Oct 14, 2007 at 5:05 AM EST
	Sounds like a love song to me...can't really go on that more can I? Awesome track too.

No Picture JJ Average	#15 by JJ at Oct 14, 2007 at 5:31 AM EST
	This song is so Beautiful! I mean, i know hes talking about a rather morbid subject, but just the notion of this guy, telling some girl, presumeably that he would die for her, is beautiful. I guess hes kind of saying that, he would "explode" to "light up the sky" for this girl who's been through so much as shes "Come this far with a broken heart" Just to create something pretty for her. He is trying to convince her broken and untrusting heart that the would be good together and that he loves her so much he would practically do anything for her! Well thats what this song means to me.... p.s YELLOWCARD ARE MY B*TCHHOUSE!

No Picture mike Rhythm Player	#16 by mike jordan at Oct 14, 2007 at 12:38 PM EST
	This is such a great song. I'm doing this assignment for english and i chose this song for a poem. Does anyone know what 'fire fight' means? Thanks heeeaps

No Picture Lex Average	#17 by Lex Nafrodosze at Oct 15, 2007 at 12:41 AM EST
	I've never hated or loved Yellowcard, but this song is really..pretty? It's quite obvious, basically I think it's based on a guy who is in love with a girl who has recently got her heart broken, basically he's trying to express what he would do to protect her, to prove she IS loved. She could also be "broken" because she has low self esteem, and it doesn't only have to be about love, close friendship could also suffice. Great song!

No Picture Gabe Average	#18 by Gabe Hawkins at Oct 15, 2007 at 8:51 AM EST
	The song is about someone he fell in love with she has a broken heart right now. He is saying that you came this far but he will light up the sky be the new day for her. The day being the new guy in her life and how he just wants her that bad.... I sent this song to a guy that i know that i love to death and his girlfriend and him are constantly breaking up

No Picture Chris Wanna Be	#19 by Chris H at Oct 16, 2007 at 10:10 AM EST
	hmm...this is song is ok. catchy hook, but i think that fighting should have been the 1st single on the album. i just feel that fighting has such a simple meaning that the music audience need to listen to it.

No Picture Eric Rhythm Player	#20 by Eric at Oct 16, 2007 at 10:00 PM EST
	Awesome song, awesome lirics and awesome meaning, for me this is a love song about a guy who would do anything for the girl, like "light up her sky". Ryan just stated in their MySpace page that this is going to be the first single of Paper Walls. Great pick, I think.

No Picture BeN-bEn Lead Player	#21 by BeN-bEn Lesniewski at Oct 17, 2007 at 8:40 AM EST
	Great song, no doubt going to be my favorite off the new album. Talks about how much you love someone and how you'd do everything. For some odd reason, I kept remembering this girl Steph who I asked to prom, but kindly turned me down. Even though many would not consider her the hottest girl in school, it's this instinct that she's the first girl that pops up in my mind when I hear the song. Don't worry, I won't ignite for her.

No Picture jordan Porreca Lead Player	#22 by jordan Porreca porreca at Oct 18, 2007 at 1:39 PM EST
	When I hear this song, I think of a guy who sees a girl in distress. 'I just wanna be where you are tonight. I run in the dark looking for some light' She has suffered from a broken heart, and he has watched over her through all of this, and tried to pick her up and set her back on her feet. 'And I would explode just to save your life' He loves her so much, that he would die to see her happy. 'Cover your eyes, Get your disguise, They won't ask you why, They just watch you die. And it's still so hard to be who you are, So you play this part, The show goes on. You've come this far with a broken heart' He has watched her hide behind her facade for so long, that he would do anything to see her come out of her shell again. The entire song is expressing how much he cares about her, and the fact that she needs to move on from her heart break and realize how he loves her so much that he would die for her just to 'light her sky', or see her happy again.

No Picture IvZ Average	#23 by IvZ at Oct 18, 2007 at 6:14 PM EST
	Did anyone think of the Heroes finale when Ryan says this "And I would explode just to save your life?"

No Picture Rene Average	#24 by Rene Salojärvi at Oct 20, 2007 at 7:38 PM EST
	Yellowcard has always been one of my favorite bands, and so far this new album hasn't disappointed me. This song, as said before, is probably about a boy showing a girl how much she means to him. Maybe he's trying to woo her and win her affection by telling him what lengths he'd go to for her. But she doesn't return the feelings? She was hurt really bad and doesn't know if she can trust him. And he's trying to show her he's worth giving it a chance. I don't know. I'm not good at this interpretation stuff. haha.

No Picture Senour Average	#25 by Senour Dakota at Oct 21, 2007 at 10:37 AM EST
	This song sounds like an extension of Grey.
