Lyric

Kitchen clock ticks in the quiet

Mug on the counter

Steam fading slow

Curtains breathe in the open window

Streetlamp paints gold on the floor

These are the lights that stay on

Little suns in the dark of our house

Holding the space when the world moves on

Soft as a hand on my shoulder now

No need for signs in the sky tonight

You are the light that stays on tonight

Hallway glow under the bedroom door

Dog by the heater

Chasing some dream

Phone face down but the charger’s blinking

Proof that we’re still here

In between

These are the lights that stay on

Little suns in the dark of our house

Holding the space when the world moves on

Soft as a hand on my shoulder now

No need for signs in the sky tonight

You are the light that stays on tonight

Nothing loud

Nothing bright

Just this room

Breathing light

If everything outside goes dark

We’ll still know

Where we are

These are the lights that stay on

When every long day is done

Quiet and warm

We’re not alone

You are the light

That stays on
