This Light

Is there something that I should know?

Some handshake or some secret code?

Get me through your doorway one more time

Is there a button that I can press

To block out noise from all the rest?

You're the only sound I need to hear

See, I'm burnin' up out here in this light

Looks so pretty from the inside

But out here, it's too damn bright

Now your voice sounds so far away

So I respond to the delay

And I wait to hear you say to come home

Is there a place that I can go

To forget the things I've never known?

'Cause I don't want to want anymore

Is there a dream that I can have

Where I don't wake up freezing inside?

Or could you show me how to sleep on my back?

See, I'm burnin' up out here in this light

Looks so pretty from the inside

But out here, it's too damn bright

Now your voice sounds so far away

So I respond to the delay

And I wait to hear you say to come home

I can't always be right there

But I can get there soon

I can't always hold your hand

But I will always love you

Now I'm freezing out here in this light

Looks so pretty from the inside

But out here, it's too damn bright

Now your voice sounds so far away

So I respond to the delay

And I wait to hear you say to come home
