Leave The Light On

I'll leave the light on

Turn down the bed

Heat up the kettle

Butter some bread

Stay up till midnight

Haunting these halls

Let's hang our memories

All over these walls

Where have you gone?

Just out for a walk?

And when you get back

We'll have us a talk

About life, about war

About dinner and more

'Bout the sun and the moon

And where have you gone?

Another sunset

It happens to fall

Right into a new day

Crushing us all

And night after new night

Like the nights come and gone

Living is waiting

Living and wanting

Living alone

Where have you gone?

Just out for a walk?

And when you get back

We'll have us a talk

About life, about war

About dinner and more

'Bout the sun and the moon

And we'll go up to bed

Wash the world from our heads

Are you coming back?

Are you coming back soon?

We build these walls (we build these walls)

To live inside (to live inside)

And make a home (and make a home)

And shut our eyes and dream (and shut our eyes and dream)

And when I see you

You're everywhere

Planting a garden, biting your lip

Watching a snowstorm

Keeping me warm

I almost feel you

You're kissing my neck

Blinking and breathing

Laughing and leaving

And the hole in my chest

Isn't there anymore

Where have you gone?

Oh, where have you gone?

I built these walls

To bring you home

But all they bring me

Is more alone

Maybe I'll move on

Maybe I won't

But I'll leave the light on anyway
