[Intro]
yeah… I left it on… (just in case)
[Verse 1]
I keep the light on in the hallway
even when it’s way too late
not cause I’m waiting for a moment
just don’t wanna lose that space
you don’t have to knock or say it
you don’t even have to come
I just figured if you needed somewhere
you’d know where I’m from
[Pre-Chorus]
no pressure… no sound…
[Chorus]
I leave the light on
just in case you turn around
I leave the light on
if you ever come back down
no questions
no reasons
just a glow in the dark
you don’t have to find it
but it’s there in the dark
[Post-Chorus]
it’s there… it’s there… (still on)
it’s there… it’s there…
[Verse 2]
I don’t check the door like I used to
don’t pretend I don’t care
I just let it sit in the silence
like maybe you’re still somewhere there
and I don’t know if you’re coming
or if you’re already gone
but I don’t turn it off at midnight
I just leave it on
[Pre-Chorus]
just in case… just in case…
[Chorus]
I leave the light on
even if you never see it shine
I leave the light on
like a thread between your life and mine
no pulling
no chasing
just a place in the air
you can find it if you need it
but I won’t bring you there
[Bridge]
maybe you don’t need it anymore
maybe you never did
but I’d rather leave it burning
than wonder what I missed
[Breakdown]
still on… still on… still on…
just in case…
[Final Chorus]
I leave the light on
if you ever want to come home
I leave the light on
even if I’m here alone
no answer
no ending
just a quiet glow in the dark
you don’t have to reach it
but it won’t fall apart
[Outro]
yeah… I left it on…
