lyrics

I get home at 2 a.m.
The show went later than I had planned
Quietly, I bring in my guitar
And I know you were thinking of me
'cause there's a light on in the kitchen
Those little things you do go so far

And I know I'm not the easiest one
Sometimes I'm here, sometimes I'm gone
chasing after something that only I can see
Sometimes when I get home, it's almost dawn
I know when I get up, you'll be long gone
But you always leave the light on for me

We both have an inner voice
that we listen to when faced with choice
We both follow our own magnetic pole
Yes, the future is uncertain
We don't know just where we're going
I know it's hard to not feel in control

But I know there's a place where we belong
where you can write your books and I'll write my songs
Chasing after something that only we can see
I know that I can sometimes be withdrawn
And where I go, I don't bring you along
But you always leave the light on for me

A special kind of language, deeper than just words
In the air like electricity
A special kind of language, just between you and me

And I know this is not the easiest time
Sometimes I think we're losing our minds
chasing after something that only we can see
But I think it's been there all along
And when the need comes, I'll be strong
'Cause you always leave the light on
Oh you've always left the light on
Yeah you always leave the light on for me
