Keep the Lights On









Hold your fingers up to the sun
Trace the bones, feel the blood run
Eyes shot red, don't burn the day
Say your name, tell yourself that everything is okay










The night's too long
So, when we sleep, I keep the lights on
Until the morning comes
When we sleep, I keep the lights on






Clear your ground, hold your throat
Un-speak all the words you ever spoke
Leave and lead yourself astray
Say your name, tell yourself that everything is okay








The night's too long
So, when we sleep, I keep the lights on
Until the morning comes
When we sleep, I keep the lights on








If I get up I'll hold your hand
Anyone else I can, I can
If I go under understand
Anyone else, you can, you can








If I get up I'll hold your hand
Anyone else I can, I can
And if I go under understand
And anyone else, you can, you can





The night's too long
So, when we sleep, I keep the lights on
Until the morning comes
When we sleep, I keep the lights on
