[Intro] You said you wouldn't chase me? ...Why not? No calls? No “where are you?” No “come back”? Really? You don't have to be that careful with me. [Pause] Wait... You left the light on? [Verse 1] I know what you meant I heard every word Maybe you thought you'd said too much Maybe you thought I needed some room So you stepped back and gave me some Hey— I know that came from somewhere kind You wanted to give me space and time And yeah I know what you meant to do You were trying to be good to me too But if you won't chase that's okay You don't have to follow me all the way If you're still there if you haven't gone I can find my way back home [Flow Change] No chase? Okay... Then I'll come to you No call? That's fine... Just stay where you are [Beat Switch] If you're still there and that light still glows I'll find my way I already know [Chorus] Leave the light on I'm coming home♪ If you won't chase me I'll come to you You can give me space I know what you mean Just leave me a light somewhere I can see Leave the light on I'm coming home♪ You don't have to walk this road If you're still there behind that glow Stay right there I'm coming home [Post-Chorus] Hey♪ There it is That little light through the rainy night Hey♪ You're still there Okay... Then I'm alright You don't have to come get me If I can see you waiting there Just keep that little light on I'll get there [Verse 2] Truth is I wanted to come back I just didn't know how to do that Where do I start? What do I say? Which little road takes me your way? I knew I wanted to see you again Didn't know where “back” should begin One wrong corner then another street Every road looked the same to me I wasn't running I wasn't gone I just couldn't find the way back home [Flow Change] How do I go back? Where do I turn? What do I say when I finally return? Do I call? Do I knock? Do I wait outside? Do I say “I missed you”? ...Maybe. Never mind. [Cinematic Build] One street Two streets Where am I? Left turn Right turn Not this one Keep going Wait— Was it that way? No... Maybe— [Pause] Hold on. What's that? ...The light. [Pause] I see it. [Beat Pulse] I know the way home. [Ultra-Fast Rap] Go-go-go there's the glow now I know which way to go Left at the corner right at the sign keep that little window right in my sight Quick-quick pick up the pace rain in my hair all over my face Cross that street don't miss that turn there's that light watch it burn One more block then another one now that I see it I'm almost done Wrong little alley back-back-back find that glow get on the track Red light green light go-go-go don't lose sight of that window Left then right then straight ahead follow the light that's what you said No GPS no SOS I finally know where I'm going next Wet shoes cold hands running too fast almost fell over don't talk about that Run-run there it is same warm window can't miss this You didn't chase you didn't call you didn't have to move at all You left one light where I could see And that was enough to lead— Me! [Flow Switch] Go-go don't slow follow that glow One-two three-four there's the door Wrong step wet step almost slipped Nope! Still good! Keep moving quick turn there's the house There you are! Wait— Do I knock? Do I call? Do I say something smart at all? Maybe “hey” maybe “hi” maybe explain where I've been all night— No time! Forget that! Open up! I'm right here! I found the light! I found you! I'm— ...home. [Pause] Wow. Okay. That was easier than what I had planned. [Beat Pickup] Anyway— You didn't chase but you didn't leave You gave me room but gave me something to see I didn't know how to make my way through Then I saw that light and it led me to you No perfect words no perfect road Just one little glow saying where to go And the second I knew what it meant— [Silence] I was already coming home. [DROP] HEY! [Final Chorus] Leave the light on I'm coming home♪ If you won't chase me I'll come to you You gave me space I know what you meant But you left me a way to find you again Leave the light on I'm coming home♪ I got a little lost but now I know You didn't have to show me the road I saw your light And followed it home [Post-Chorus] Hey♪ There you are Same little window same warm light Hey♪ Look at me I made it back to you tonight No chase No call That's okay You left me something to show me the way I didn't know how to come back to you Then through the dark that light came through Maybe that's all I needed to know You were still there So I knew where to go [Outro] You said, “I'll leave the light on for you...” [Pause] I saw it. I saw the light. I got a little lost. But... you were right. [Small Laugh] I knew the way home. I'm home. [Pause] I'm home. I'm home.
