[Verse 1]Do you remember how it felt when it all crashed down?Cause I've been trying to forget, but I swear that I still hear the soundWhat started as a gentle hum, began to quiet downIt's turning to a ring, and getting louder nowChipping away at the pavement outside your house[Chorus]Shut my eyes and hope I wake upTo the wave of the breeze from your screened in porchJust promise that you'll leave the light onTo point me toward true north[Verse 2]Can you feel the arrhythmic sound of the rain beating down?It's getting steady now, but I still feel something hanging aroundWith every second glance all in and out of phaseWe're few and far between and getting further awayBeen tripping over the coastline since I left town[Chorus]Shut my eyes and hope I wake upTo the wave of the breeze from your screened in porchJust promise that you'll leave the light onTo point me toward true northSo hold on tight until I'm back homeTurn away from the dark when the sun goes downJust promise that you'll leave the light onTo point me toward true north[Bridge]Leave the light onLeave the light onLeave the light onLeave the light on[Chorus]Shut my eyes and hope I wake upTo the sound of the rain on your screened in porchJust promise that you'll leave the light onTo point me toward true northHold on tight until I'm back homeTurn away from the dark when the sun goes downJust promise that you'll leave the light onTo point me toward true north
