[Verse 1]
Late night calls, I answer on the second ring
You leave your broken pieces on my porch
I hold my breath and give you everything
A human fireplace, a temporary torch
[Pre-Chorus]
Take what you need to feel whole again
I will be the ghost that holds your hands
[Chorus]
And I burns bright so you can find your way
While I fade out in the grey
Yeah, I am everybody's light, everybody's light
You warm your hands until the embers die
Then leave me in the quiet dark outside
Yeah, I am everybody's light, but nobody's home
[Verse 2]
You dry your tears against my coat
I keep my own locked deep behind my teeth
You float away on every word I wrote
While I am sinking underneath
[Pre-Chorus]
Take what you need to feel whole again
I will be the ghost that holds your hands
[Chorus]
And I burns bright so you can find your way
While I fade out in the grey
Yeah, I am everybody's light, everybody's light
You warm your hands until the embers die
Then leave me in the quiet dark outside
Yeah, I am everybody's light, but nobody's home
[Bridge]
Use me up, burn me down
Scatter all my ashes on the ground
If I keep the shadows off your chest
I will pretend that this is for the best
[Chorus]
And I burns bright so you can find your way
While I fade out in the grey
Yeah, I am everybody's light, everybody's light
You warm your hands until the embers die
Then leave me in the quiet dark outside
Yeah, I am everybody's light, but nobody's home
[Outro]
Just a light in the window
Just a light...
When you walk away
