Lights On

(album: This Too Shall Last - 2022)

I know that you've been hurt before
Broken dreams and burned-out hopes
But I'm gonna love you with the lights on
I'm gonna love you with the...

I feel like you're holding back
'Cause lately we're just not talking
Just not talking
You're gone every other night
You're crying when I'm not looking
When I'm not looking
It chokes me up to see you living in hell while lying next to me
If only you knew that you don't need to be strong
Sometimes just let it be

I know that you've been hurt before
Broken dreams and burned-up hopes
But I'm gonna love with the lights on
I'm gonna love you with the lights on
I see the scars upon your soul
I feel the pain that's in your bones
But I'm gonna love you with the lights on
I'm gonna love you with the...
La-la-la la-la-la la-la-la-la-la
Love you with the lights on
Love you with the lights on
La-la-la la-la-la la-la-la-la-la
Love you with the lights on
Love you with the lights on

Don't run away and hide
Don't stay underneath those cover
You'll drown in cold water
We don't need the sun to shine
As long as we got each other
We got this
It chokes me up to see you living in hell while lying next to me
If only you knew that you don't need to be strong
Sometimes just let it be

I know that you've been hurt before
Broken dreams and burned-up hopes
But I'm gonna love with the lights on
I'm gonna love you with the lights on
I see the scars upon your soul
I feel the pain that's in your bones
But I'm gonna love you with the lights on
I'm gonna love you with the...
La-la-la la-la-la la-la-la-la-la
Love you with the lights on
Love you with the lights on
La-la-la la-la-la la-la-la-la-la
Love you with the lights on
Love you with the lights on

And if you trust that I can keep you warm through dark and stormy nights
We can stay awake together util it's all alright

La-la-la la-la-la la-la-la-la-la
Love you with the lights on
Love you with the lights on
La-la-la la-la-la la-la-la-la-la
Love you with the lights on
Love you with the lights on
La-la-la la-la-la la-la-la-la-la
Love you with the lights on
Love you with the lights on
