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  Thr 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  Thr 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
