Leave the light on when you go

So I can find where my heart landed when you threw it on the floor

Leave the light on when you go, go, go

Leave the light on when you go

Leave a toolbox when you split

For the girl who’ll find my soul and try to reassemble it

Leave the light on when you go, go, go

Leave the light on when you go

‘Cause I'll miss watching shooting stars

While shooting off our hopes and dreams

I'll miss late-night Buffy marathons

As we slayed life's scary things

I'll miss dancing by the kitchen sink and kissing you goodnight

I’m not all right

At least I have the light

Leave your consolations at the door

‘cause I doubt you’ll find a new one, girl. I’ve heard them all before

Leave the light on when you go, go, go

Leave the light on when you go

Leave a matchbox over there

So I can burn the things I gave you even though you didn’t care

Leave the light on when you go, go, go

Leave the light on when you go

‘Cause I hate driving out to nowhere

Every time you drive me mad

I hate fighting back the thought

Of all the fights you made us have

I hate watching you be loose when I just want to hold you tight

But I’ll be all right

Yeah, I don’t need the light

Don’t leave anything at all

It’s not goodbye; this is good riddance

After all this time, I’m finally standing tall

But leave the light on when you go, go, go

Leave the light on when you go

Leave the light on when you go

‘cause now my life is so much brighter ‘cause you’re not in it anymore

Leave the light on when you go, go, go

Leave the light on when you go
