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
