“Never really said too much
Afraid it wouldnt be enough
Just try to keep my spirits up
When theres no point in grieving
Doesnt matter anyway
Words could never make me stay
Words will never take my place
When you know Im leaving
Try to leave a light on when Im 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 Im gone
Even in the daylight, shine on
And when its late at night you can look inside
You wont feel so alone
You know weve been down that road
What seems a thousand times before
My back to a closing door and my eyes to the seasons
That roll out underneath my heels
And you dont know how bad it feels
To leave the only one that I have ever believed in
Try to leave a light on when Im 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 Im gone
Even in the daylight, shine on
And when its late at night you can look inside
You wont feel so alone
Sometimes it feels like weve run out of luck
When the signal keeps on breaking up
When the wires cross in my brain
Youll start my heart again
When I come along
Try to leave a light on when Im 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 Im gone
Even in the daylight, shine on
And when its late at night you can look inside
You wont feel so alone.”
