[Verse 1]
I told you I'd leave a light on, in case you ever wanted to come back home
You smiled and said you appreciate, the gesture
I took your every word to heart, cause I can't stand us bein' apart
And just to show how much I really miss ya

[Chorus]
Every light in the house is on, the back yard's bright as the crack of dawn
The front walk looks like runway lights, it's kinda like noon in the dead of night
Every light in the house is on, just in case you ever do get tired of being gone
Every light in the house is on

[Verse 2]
If I should ever start forgettin', I'll turn the lights off one by one
So you can see that I agree, it's over
But until then I want you to know, if you look south you'll see a glow
That's me waitin' at home each night to hold ya

[Chorus]
Every light in the house is on, the back yard's bright as the crack of dawn
The front walk looks like runway lights, it's kinda like noon in the dead of night
Every light in the house is on, just in case you ever do get tired of being gone

[Outro]
Oh every light in the house is on, the back yard's bright as the crack of dawn
The front walk looks like runway lights, it's kinda like noon in the dead of night
Every light in the house is on, just in case you ever do get tired of being gone
Every light in the house is on
