So are you saying that a photon of light could arrive before even being sent? LOL! It just took off and got there before I hit the switch? What if I changed my mind and didn’t hit the switch?

No, you’re stating that to be the case if something travels faster than light - I’m merely asking for an explanation of whay that HAS to be the case. Intuition says something traveling faster than light will naturally arrive before something traveling slower - I can’t see how the leap is made to that FTL object arriving BEFORE it was sent.
