Leave The Light On

[Verse 1]
Kick your heels off
Drop your bag right there
You’ve been running all week
You can lose that glare
Soft shirt hanging
On my kitchen chair
You say “I should go”
But you stay and stare (mmm)
[Chorus]
Leave the light on
I wanna see every part of you
Every curve
Every loose little truth
Leave the light on
Let the shadows trace what our hands do
If it’s real
We don’t have to hide the view
Leave the light on
Leave the light on
[Verse 2]
Her: Taste that red wine
On your crooked grin
You lean on the counter
Pull my waist right in
Him: Your laugh spills over
Stains my favorite tee (yeah)
We’re talking like strangers
Touching like we’re free
[Chorus]
Leave the light on
I wanna see every part of you
Every scar
Every soft shade of blue
Leave the light on
Let our stories fall between us two
If it’s real
We don’t have to dim the truth
Leave the light on
Leave the light on (ooh)
[Bridge]
Her: You say you’re not used to this
Being fully seen like this
Him: But your trembling fingertips
Tell me “stay
Don’t quit”
Both: So don’t pull the curtains shut
Let the room watch what we do
If this flicker turns to fire
I’ll stay right here in view (right here)
[Chorus]
Leave the light on
I wanna see every part of you
Every hope you were scared to prove
Leave the light on
Let the night stretch slow and brand-new
If it’s love
It’ll look just like you
Leave the light on
Leave the light on
Leave the light on (mmm)

Slow-burning retro R&B ballad with warm Rhodes, soft bass, and brushed drums; male and female vocals trade close-up lines. Verses stay intimate and low, chorus blooms with stacked harmonies and a gentle string pad. Subtle guitar licks answer the melody, background "oohs" wrapping the hook in late-night velvet., light, soulful, r&b, smooth
