Your side of the bed's unmade
Like you just slipped outside for a cigarette break
I move real quiet, imagine I still hear you breathin' (breathin')
Your coat hangs in the front hall closet
'Cause what if in the cold, you notice you lost it?
I take it as a sign, you're not quite done with leavin' (leavin')
(Come back to me)

So I, I leave the light on all night, baby
Like you might decide you've been missin' me lately
It's getting too hard to believe
I only see you in my dreams
And then wake up with you gone forever
I, I leave the light on all night, baby

Your car's not parked out on the road
'Cause you made a wrong turn, hit traffic all the way home
But you'll be standing in my front doorway later (later)
You'll wrap your arms around my waist
And you'll say that you tried, but you just can't stay away
No, you couldn't bear the thought of us as strangers (strangers)
(Come back to me)

So I, I leave the light on, all night, baby
Like you might decide you've been missin' me lately
It's getting too hard to believe
I only see you in my dreams
And then wake up with you gone forever
I, I leave the light on, all night, baby
I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait all night
(I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait all night)
Oh, I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait all night
(I'll wait, I'll wait for you)
So I, I leave the light on
I, I leave the light on all night, baby
