Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Never really said too much

Afraid it wouldn't be enough

Just try to keep my spirits up

When there's no point in grievin'

[Verse 2]

Doesn't matter anyway

Words can never make me stay

Words will never take my place

When you know I'm leavin'

[Verse 3]

Try to leave a light on when I'm gone

Somethin' 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

[Verse 4]

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

Leave the only one that I have

Ever believed in

[Verse 5]

Try to leave a light on when I'm gone

Somethin' 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

[Verse 6]

Sometimes it feels like we 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

[Verse 7]

Try to leave a light on when I'm gone

Somethin' I rely on to get home

One I can feel at night, a naked light

A fire to keep me warm

[Verse 8]

Try to leave a light on when I'm gone

Even in the daylight, shinin' on

And when it's late at night, you can look inside

You won't feel so alone

Try to leave a light on when I'm gone

Even in the daylight, shinin' on

And when it's late at night, you can look inside

You won't feel so alone
