Got a mountain of myself built up between
Between me and you (gotta leave the light on)
And my contour lines are all mixed up, there's no way
I could see form this point of view (gotta leave the light on)

It's not enough to know that
Somehow you've got to show yeah
You are the answer for me
I'm waiting patiently, oh I'm waiting patiently

If I leave and don't come back
Would you even know, if I had been gone
If I leave and don't come back
Would you take the time, to leave the light on

Gotta leave the light on, yeah

I'm running from my sleep just like a boy
Who knows that he's tired (gotta leave the light on)
And I know the only way to get there
Is to go straight up
But you know that it's higher (gotta leave the light on)

It's not enough to know that
Somehow you've got to show yeah
You are the answer for me
I'm waiting patiently, oh I'm waiting patiently
If I leave and don't come back
Would you even know, if I had been gone
If I leave and don't come back
Would you take the time, to leave the light on

Gotta take a little time, don't hurry up
Love will light the way
Gotta read between the lines
Try to not mess it up
Love will light the way

If I leave and don't come back
Would you even know, if I had been gone
If I leave and don't come back
Would you take the time, to leave the light on!
Gotta leave the light on, yeah
