Leave The Light On

I'll leave the light on
Turn down the bed
Heat up the kettle
Butter some bread

Stay up till midnight
Haunting these halls
Let's hang our memories
All over these walls

Where have you gone?
Just out for a walk?
And when you get back
We'll have us a talk

About life, about war
About dinner and more
'Bout the sun and the moon
And where have you gone?

Another sunset
It happens to fall
Right into a new day
Crushing us all
And night after new night
Like the nights come and gone
Living is waiting
Living and wanting
Living alone

Where have you gone?
Just out for a walk?
And when you get back
We'll have us a talk

About life, about war
About dinner and more
'Bout the sun and the moon
And we'll go up to bed
Wash the world from our heads
Are you coming back?
Are you coming back soon?

We build these walls (we build these walls)
To live inside (to live inside)
And make a home (and make a home)
And shut our eyes and dream (and shut our eyes and dream)
And when I see you
You're everywhere

Planting a garden, biting your lip
Watching a snowstorm
Keeping me warm
I almost feel you
You're kissing my neck
Blinking and breathing
Laughing and leaving
And the hole in my chest
Isn't there anymore

Where have you gone?
Oh, where have you gone?
I built these walls
To bring you home
But all they bring me
Is more alone

Maybe I'll move on
Maybe I won't
But I'll leave the light on anyway
I'll leave the light on
