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 being apart
And just to show how much I really miss ya


Every light in the house is on
The backyard'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


If I should ever start forgetting
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 waiting at home each night to hold ya


Every light in the house is on
The backyard'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
Oh every light in the house is on
The backyard'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
