Leave A Light On
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's like a cigarette tamed by your fingertips
When that cruel whisper slipped from your scarlet lips
So for the last time let me sail upon your ship
For the last time, let us light up
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is goodbye for the last time
Let's be wild and unashamed
You will always be my dancer
Come and dance inside my flame
Like lovers in the middle of the night
Desperate shuffles as we turn on the lights
Light up, light up, light up
Light up, light up, light up
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All these faces, different places
They will never ever be the same
I'll keep chasing, always chasing
Just to be beside your flame
Like lovers in the middle of the night
Desperate shuffles as we turn on the lights
Light up, light up, light up
Light up, light up, light up
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'll be the soundtrack to your ambient dream
If things were different, well I know you'd be my queen
I will always leave a light on (Light on)
I will always leave a light on (Light on)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is goodbye for the last time
Let's be wild and unashamed
You will always be my dancer
Come and dance inside my flame
Like lovers in the middle of the night
Desperate shuffles as we turn on the lights
Light up, light up, light up
Light up, light up, light up
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All these faces, different places
They will never ever be the same
I'll keep chasing, always chasing
Just to be beside your flame
Like lovers in the middle of the night
Desperate shuffles as we turn on the lights
Light up, light up, light up
(Light up, light up, light up)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is goodbye
To your sweet flame
Light up
This is goodbye
To your sweet flame
Light up
This (This is goodbye)
Is goodbye (For the last time)
To your sweet flame (Like lovers in the middle of the night)
(Desperate shuffles as we turn on the lights)
Light up
(This )This is goodbye for the last time
We'll be wild and unashamed (Is goodbye)
You will always be my dancer
Come and dance inside my flame
(Like lovers in the middle of the night)
(Desperate shuffles as we turn on the light
Light up, light up, light up
Light up, light up, light up
