Lights Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I know it’s getting dark outside
The stars are gone tonight
And with them all my pride

I see your shadows on the wall
But lover’s voice still calls
And echoes through the halls
But you’re not here

[Chorus]
I keep leaving the lights on for you
Every night since you’ve been gone
I keep leaving the lights on
‘Cause I know you’re coming home
I’ve been keeping this fire going
Every night since you’ve been gone
Feel it burn but I’ve never been colder
When are you coming home

[Verse 2]
I tried, I tried to fall asleep
The phone right next to me
You called me in my dreams
Your voice was sweet
But still too real for me
[Chorus]
I keep leaving the lights on for you
Every night since you’ve been gone
I keep leaving the lights on
‘Cause I know you’re coming home
I’ve been keeping this fire going
Every night since you’ve been gone
Feel it burn but I’ve never been colder
When are you coming home
When are you coming home

[Bridge]
I stumble through the dark alone
Without you
I hear your voice but it’s too real

[Chorus]
I keep leaving the lights on for you
Every night since you’ve been gone
I keep leaving the lights on
‘Cause I know you’re coming home
I’ve been keeping this fire going
Every night since you’ve been gone
Feel it burn but I’ve never been colder
When are you coming home
When are you coming home
When are you coming home

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
