[Intro – soft piano, ambient night noise] (ooh… ahh…) ⸻ [Verse 1 – female lead|minimalist piano, car interior ambience] I’m parked out on the driveway, hands resting on the wheel, breath fogging up the glass as I try to start to feel. until the quiet settled round me like a blanket in the dark… And the porch light on the steps cuts a pathway through the yard ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – female lead| gentle lift, close harmonies enter softly] And I’m tired of all the running, and the weight I try to hide… but the light keeps softly shining ’cause someone waits inside (inside…). ⸻ [Chorus – female lead| warm, still, accepting] There’s a light on the steps calling me home, that same gentle glow that’s never gone cold. Through all the long nights when I drifted too far… there’s a light on the steps... waiting right where you are (where you are…). ⸻ [Verse 2 – female lead| pentatonic fragments, breathy spacing] I open up the car door, let the night air find my face… take one slow step forward 'cause I recognise this place. And the quiet feels like comfort, and the glow is calm and kind — like it’s reaching from the doorway to the parts I’ve left behind (left behind…). ⸻ [Pre-Chorus – female lead| same lift, slightly fuller harmony] And I’m learning I don’t need to have the answers all lined up… just a light that keeps on shining ’cause someone never gave up (never gave up…). ⸻ [Chorus – female lead| repeated with expanded echoes] There’s a light on the steps calling me home, that same gentle glow that’s never gone cold. Through all the long nights when I drifted too far… there’s a light on the steps... waiting right where you are (where you are…). ⸻ [Bridge – female lead| quiet emotional centre, minimalist phrasing] It lingered on the doorway, steady through the shifting dark. Even when I stayed away, (oohh) it never dimmed or lost its spark. (oh ahhh) A simple, steady shimmer just waiting for my return — proof that in the quiet moments there are lights that always burn (and it still burns…). ⸻ [Final Chorus – female lead| unresolved peace, soft harmonies] There’s a light on the steps calling me home — but tonight I sit here in the quiet on my own. I’m not ready to walk in… but I don’t feel lost tonight. There’s a light on the steps and it’s more than enough just to see it shining bright (shining bright…). ⸻ [Outro – female lead| silence, piano decay, soft hum] I breathe in the night, hands resting on the wheel… and I let myself believe in a light that still burns real (burns real…).
