Let A Little Light In

Home movies end to end in the wee hours of the night

You finish one, you start again, but something isn't right

Where's the cereal-filled devil grin and the bannister slide?

Who could've taught him how to hide?

Open the curtains and let a little light in

Let a little light in

So many wheels to ride in our cul-de-sac sea

We were alive outside

We were students of movement, weren't we?

Another house, another car

It's an endless imitation

Of course we had to learn to race them

Open the curtains and let a little light in

Let a little light in

Thirteen candles make a ring

For a name to flicker out

The man beside you to the right

What's he got to smile about?

Overeager reds and greens

I remember bright blends

How and when did the sepia seep in?

Open the curtains and let a little light in

Let a little light in

Home movies end to end in the wee hours of the night

You finish one, you start again, but something isn't right

Where's the cereal-filled devil grin and the bannister slide?

Who could've taught him how to hide?

Open the curtains and let a little light in

Let a little light in

Open the curtains and let a little light in

Let a little light in
