Will you leave a light on when I'm away

Or maybe just something subtle like a candle in your window pane

December 10th of last year we were hanging out

In an alley, by New Years you were spitting fire out

And I was the one to blame for things we had to drink

For the things you had to think about you and me

Will you leave a light on when I'm away

Or maybe just something subtle like a candle in your window pane

Not much but enough to guide me through the rain

Will you leave a light on when I'm away

I pulled you aside and asked you if you thought we would fail

If the future is what's haunting us I'll build your trust from wood and nails

I'll always feel you when I drive home late at night

For a hundred miles back west on the interstate

We drank under the stars that night when morning came we stumbled right back home

It doesn't sound like much but these memories mean more than you would ever know
