Leave the Light On

[Verse 1] And you want half of everything

Even pieces I don't have left

Guess the years are catching up

I chew slow with teeth that barely hold their place

Skipped the morning, made it through the afternoon

Been like this since the day I came awake

Nothing settles aching bones like gentle hands

Even when the world begins to shake

[Pre-Chorus] I count the cracks along the wall

I trace them till they're gone

Someday soon the dust will call

And I'll be singing on

[Chorus] Half of everything I owned

Half of all the seeds I'd sown

Take your share and take your leave

Just leave the porch light on for me

[Post-Chorus] Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Leave the light on

[Verse 2] I kept pennies in a jar by the door

For rainy days that never came my way

Sold the records and the photographs

Kept a Polaroid from our last Saturday

You said love is just a balance sheet

What you give is what you get back

I said darling I've been overdrawn

Since the day I signed the contract

[Pre-Chorus] I count the cracks along the wall

I trace them till they're gone

Someday soon the dust will call

And I'll be singing on

[Chorus] Half of everything I owned

Half of all the seeds I'd sown

Take your share and take your leave

Just leave the porch light on for me

[Bridge] (Gentle hands)

Nothing settles like gentle hands

(Gentle hands)

When the whole world starts to shake

Mm-hmm

[Chorus] Half of everything I owned

Half of all the seeds I'd sown

Take your share and take your leave

Just leave the porch light on for me

[Outro] Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Leave the light on

Oh-oh-oh

Leave the light on

La la la la

Leave the light on

Leave the light on
