Every Light Left On for You

Verse

Duffel bag zipper, four in the morning

Porch boards creaking out a quiet warning

Left the key under the mat like always

Engine coughing through the empty hallways

Streetlamp flickers on the cracked motel sign

Every window in this town says stay behind

But I've been folding maps I'll never read

Counting mile markers like a rosary

Pre-Chorus

So tell me what I'm waiting for

A sign, a sound, an open door

The static's calling, low and clear

I think my whole life's out of here

Chorus

I'm leaving every light left on for you

A house that's burning gold but feels like proof

That I was here, that I was real, that I got through

Every light left on for you

Verse

Diner booth, the coffee's gone cold water

Waitress asks if I'm somebody's daughter

I say I'm nobody you'd remember

Just a spark before the last December

Radio's humming static through the pines

Trading old regrets for double yellow lines

Got a jacket full of ticket stubs and dust

Learning how to run on nothing but the rush

Pre-Chorus

So tell me what I'm waiting for

A sign, a sound, an open door

The static's calling, low and clear

I think my whole life's out of here

Chorus

I'm leaving every light left on for you

A house that's burning gold but feels like proof

That I was here, that I was real, that I got through

Every light left on for you

Bridge

Maybe I was never scared of losing

Maybe I was scared of never choosing

So here's my hand out on the highway line

Come find me where the static turns to shine

Chorus

I'm leaving every light left on for you

A house that's burning gold but feels like proof

That I was here, that I was real, that I got through

Shout it if you feel it, shout it if it's true

Every light left on for you

Every light left on for you
