Every Lamp Burning Low

Verse 1

I keep the hallway light on

Every single night since you left

Something moves behind my eyes

And I can't tell if it's me or the rest

Shadows learn my name so quick

They curl around the doorframe slow

I was brave when you were here

Now I don't know where the brave ones go

Pre-Chorus

And I count to ten

And I count again

Nothing changes when I do

Chorus

I'm scared of the dark without you

Scared of the dark without you

Every corner turns to teeth

Every silence sounds like you

I'm scared of the dark without you

Scared of the dark without you

I leave every lamp burning low

Just to feel like someone's home

Verse 2

I used to laugh at ghost stories

Now I flinch at my own reflection

Half the night I'm wide awake

Half the night I'm second-guessing

The clock ticks like a heartbeat

Somebody's breathing in the wall

I know it's just an empty house

But it doesn't feel empty at all

Pre-Chorus

So I count to ten

Then I count again

Nothing softens when I do

Chorus

I'm scared of the dark without you

Scared of the dark without you

Every corner turns to teeth

Every silence sounds like you

I'm scared of the dark without you

Scared of the dark without you

I leave every lamp burning low

Just to feel like someone's home

Bridge

Maybe fear is just a shape

Of missing you too much

Maybe every creaking sound

Is your hand I want to touch

Chorus

I'm scared of the dark without you

Scared of the dark without you

Every corner turns to teeth

Every silence sounds like you

I'm scared of the dark without you

Scared of the dark without you

I leave every lamp burning low

Just to feel like someone's home
