Lyrics

Never really said too much Afraid it wouldn't be enough Just try to keep my spirits up When there's no point in grieving Doesn't matter anyway Words can never make me stay Words will never take my place, when you know I'm leavin' Try to leave a light on when I'm 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 I'm gone Even in the daylight, shine on And when it's late at night, you can look inside You won't feel so alone You know we've been down that road What seems a thousand times before My back to a closin' door And my eyes to the seasons That roll out underneath my heels And you don't know how bad it feels To leave the only one that I have ever believed in Try to leave a light on when I'm 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 I'm gone Even in the daylight, shine on And when it's late at night, you can look inside You won't feel so alone Ooh, yeah Sometimes it feels like we've run out of luck When the signal keeps on breakin' up When the wires cross in my brain You'll start my heart again, when I come along Yeah Try to leave a light on when I'm 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 I'm gone Even in the daylight, shine on And when it's late at night, you can look inside You won't feel so alone I'll try to leave a light on when I'm gone Even in the daylight, shine on And when it's late at night, you can look inside You won't feel so alone
