I Left the Light On

Verse 1

Seven in the morning and the faucet's gone cold

I traced the cracks in the ceiling again

Phone on the nightstand won't tell me the truth

I keep every reason to stay in my skin

Pre-Chorus

And I wonder if you ever

Wonder where the days went without me

Chorus

I left the light on

In case you come back through the door

I left the light on

Counting every floorboard you wore

I've been holding this ache like a secret

I've been lying so still on this floor

I left the light on

In case you come back through the door

Verse 2

Neighbors heard my name through the plaster thin wall

I don't remember saying a word

Summer paint peeling off the window frame

Like everything I should have learned

Pre-Chorus

And I wonder if you ever

Wonder what the silence sounds like

Chorus

I left the light on

In case you come back through the door

I left the light on

Counting every floorboard you wore

I've been holding this ache like a secret

I've been lying so still on this floor

I left the light on

In case you come back through the door

Bridge

Maybe I'm learning to fade

Maybe I'm learning to fade slow

Maybe the tape never turns over

Maybe the needle just goes

Chorus

I left the light on

In case you come back through the door

I left the light on

Counting every floorboard you wore

I've been holding this ache like a secret

I've been lying so still on this floor

I left the light on

In case you come back through the door
