[INTRO] TV throws a green light across the ceiling. Same bad jokes, no one laughing. [VERSE 1] Coffee’s been there since last night. I drink it. Still tastes right. I’m fine. I get up. I go to work. [CHORUS] I leave it on. I leave it on. If I don’t say your name, you’re not gone. [VERSE 2] Your side of the bed still dips. I never turn the sheet. The smell is almost gone. Almost sweet. Phone on the floor. No calls. Good. Less explaining. Less slipping. [PRE-CHORUS] I don’t lie. I just don’t ask. Some things stay alive if you don’t look back. [CHORUS] I leave it on. I leave it on. If I don’t say your name, you’re not gone. [BRIDGE] Sometimes I hear breathing. Could be heat in the pipe. Could be my own chest. Doesn’t matter which. You say I’m stuck. Maybe. But I’m still here. [Guitar solo] [CHORUS x2] I leave it on. I leave it on. If I don’t say your name, you’re not gone. [OUTRO] If I let it in all the way, I won’t get out of bed. So I leave it on. Every night. Green light on the wall. Everything looks almost right.
