Light On

I remember the beams in the backyard About yay high, just down the street on 72nd Shouldn't have let me Stay up so late and watch those R-rated movies Cause now I think I'm afraid of the dark But that's okay, cause I think about the day And now every time one comes on, I feel a little bit brave How'd I go and make myself into a grown up I sure remember saying I don't wanna Wait Can I really say I made myself a grown up If some nights I'm still sleeping with the light on Can I really say I made myself a grown up I could probably turn it off but I don't wanna My younger days Will fade away But as I age I see your face Some things do change Some stay the same Thats why I do what I wanna At night I sleep with the light on I remember the glow in the dark stars, The nights in the top bunk and box fans in the window Counting from ten so, Ready or not here I come, on the run, never done til we played out our hearts But what can I say, cause I think about the day And now every time I feel lost, I end up finding my way How'd I go and make myself into a grown up I sure remember saying I don't wanna Wait, Can I really say I made myself a grown up If some nights I'm still sleeping with the light on Can I really say I made myself a grown up I could probably turn it off but I don't wanna My younger days Will fade away But as I age I see your face Some things do change Some stay the same Thats why I do what I wanna At night I sleep with the light on Yeah I know, how to find Where it lies, deep inside There's a light, all the time In my mind I know Yeah I know I know My younger days Will fade away But as I age I see your face Some things do change Some stay the same Thats why I do what I wanna At night I sleep with the light on
