I know that every step you take
Feels harder now than yesterday
When the wind can cut you like a knife
Or just put your collar up and fight
And you never know if you never try
Do all those things when
you're young and alive
The sun goes down behind
the city silhouette
We make big plans and we place our bets
Mis takes and lonely nights,
lead where the wisdom lies
Just leave the light on for tonight, oh
You used to stay up late,
you used to laugh out loud
Now you just leave the light waiting,
all through the night
We'll never make it out alive
But I think we'll be around sometime
Now that you're across the sea
Can we keep the connection?
Can we stay the same?
Mistakes and lonely nights
Lead where the wisdom lies
Just leave the light on for tonight
Oh -oh -oh -oh
You used to stay up late
You used to laugh out loud
Now you're just leaving like the wind
All through the night
Oh -oh -oh -oh
You used to stay up late
You used to laugh out loud
Just leave the light on, on the windowsill
Like a dog, I'll come crawling
back and you know I will
Go see the world with
your own eyes, girl
You need taste to work with the lies
There's so much that
it's almost good
Cause it feels so real but they
can't hear you screamin'
The city holds you like she never did
Mistakes and lonely nights
Mistakes and lonely nights
Lead where the wisdom lies
Just leave the light on for tonight
You used to stay up late
You used to laugh out loud
Now you just leave the light waiting
all through the night
Just leave the light on
for tonight, oh
You used to say I'm fake,
you used to laugh out loud
Now you just leave the light
waiting all through the night
