Leave the Light On

[MIDDLE NOAH]

I'll leave the light on, turn down the bed

Heat up the kettle, butter some bread

Stay up 'til midnight haunting these halls

Let's hang our memories all over these walls

Where have you gone?

Just out for a walk?

And when you get back, we'll have us a talk

About life, about war, about dinner, and more

'Bout the sun and the moon

And where have you gone?

Another sunset, it happens to fall

Right into a new day, crushing us all

And night after new night, like the nights come and gone

Living is waiting, living and wanting, living alone

And where have you gone?

Just out for a walk?

And when you get back, we'll have us a talk

About life, about war, about dinner, and more

'Bout the sun and the moon

And we'll go up to bed, wash the world from our heads

Are you coming back?

Are you coming back soon?

[MIDDLE NOAH & ENSEMBLE]

We build these walls (We build these walls)

To live inside (To live inside)

And make a home (And make a home)

And shut our eyes and dream (And shut our eyes and dream)

And when I see you, you're everywhere

Planting a garden, biting your lip

Watching the snowstorm keeping me warm

I almost feel you—, you're kissing my neck

Blinking and breathing, laughing and leaving

And the hole in my chest isn't there anymore

Where have you gone?

Oh, where have you gone?

I build these walls to bring you home

But all they bring me is more alone

Maybe I'll move on, maybe I won't

But I'll leave the light on anyway

I'll leave the light on
