lyrics

feet stamped on the toilet seat - i'm hoping that no-one sees that i'm bleeding. chairs, smelling like old cigars. couches sunk in too far to sleep in. white light through the red lampshade - shine on the rules we made. can you see them? saved letters from years ago. i know that our friends all know, but do we need them?

wrecked hands all wrapped up, the color of rust. fumble through the dark as our eyes adjust.

if it's true that, out there, the whole world moves, there's a thousand kids like you with nothing to prove. i'll be leaving the light on.

tight chicken skin, glazed and dried, under the island light, when you got home last night. three-thirty and it must be a hundred and five degrees (with no end in sight).

damp clothes fermenting in the sun. wait out the light 'til the evening comes.

if it's true that, out there, the whole world moves, there's a thousand kids like you with nothing to lose. i'll be leaving the light on.

'cause i will love you for miles (will love you for seasons), but i won't love you for nothing.

if it's true that, out there, the whole world moves, there's a thousand kids like you in houses like tombs. i'll be leaving the light on.
