craving for something more
than I’d found in you
so reckless and selfish
I stumbled into the dark again
despite the light you gave me
fell off the narrow road you carved

and in the aftermath
crawling down a strange path
but looking back
I still could see the lights on

leave the lights on
leave the lights on
‘cause I don’t know when I’ll be coming home
to you again
with a broken heart to mend
so leave the lights on

aching for something to heal
this heart of mine
so full of disaster
the wreckage leads me to my knees and then
I see the light you gave me
still glowing in the radiant east

you’re calling me to the path
with all the strength that I lack
you’ll carry me on your back
so I still can see the lights on

leave the lights on
leave the lights on
‘cause I don’t know when I’ll be coming home
to you again
with a broken heart to mend
so leave the lights on

saving is the grace I know
I will find in you
when the pain leaves me empty
broken ruins of what might have been
the past comes back to haunt me
but I place my faith in what you taught

now, on the narrow path
I’m coming under attack
but if I stay on track
I still can see the lights on

leave the lights on
leave the lights on
‘cause I don’t know when I’ll be coming home
to you again
with a broken heart to mend
so leave the lights on
