[Verse 1]
Coffee at midnight
Same cup
Same chipped side
Scrolling through headlines
Reading every single lie
Cartoons on low
Just to feel some voices
Talking over
All the quiet choices
[Pre-Chorus]
I count the days
By dishes in the sink
I keep my hands too busy
So I don't have to think
[Chorus]
I keep the lights on
Till the morning comes
Turn up the background
Drown the thoughts that run
If I sit in silence
They all come back strong
So I keep the lights on
I keep the lights on
[Verse 2]
Laundry on repeat
Fold the same shirt twice
Talking to no one
Out loud just for spite
Calendar crowded
With things I never do
Fill every minute
So there’s no space for you
[Pre-Chorus]
I wear my headphones
Like armor on my skin
Anything
Anything
To drown the echo in
[Chorus]
I keep the lights on
Till the morning comes
Turn up the background
Drown the thoughts that run
If I sit in silence
They all come back strong
So I keep the lights on
I keep the lights on
[Bridge]
Blue glow on my face (oh-oh)
Shadows on the wall
Feels safer in this halfway place
Than letting silence fall
If I close my eyes
I see every goodbye
So I stare at the ceiling
Till the dark gets tired
[Chorus]
I keep the lights on
Till the morning comes
Turn up the background
Drown the thoughts that run
If I sit in silence
They all come back strong
So I keep the lights on
I keep the lights on
[Outro]
Leave every switch flipped
Leave every screen bright
If lonely is waiting
It can wait all night
