I’ll Leave the Light On

Lyric : TSUNEKA [Intro] When the night by the window starts to come undone only your name stays softly lit [Verse 1] Just having you here made loneliness feel far away Even in different rooms we were looking at the same sky On days you have no words you don’t have to force a smile Even this silence must be love somehow I’ll wait until it loosens [Pre-Chorus] In a world without you no prayer could ever reach me So before I ask the sky I’ll keep this light alive [Chorus] The days we could say “I’m home” and “welcome back” That was enough for me Even an ordinary morning became a song with you This feeling makes it hard to breathe so I’ll hold it gently Even when your back goes far away I’ll leave the light on [Verse 2] The words “I want to protect you” can become a cage sometimes So I won’t rush the speed your own feet choose Your crying face your silent nights you can leave them all here Even days when all I do is call your name can still be called love [Pre-Chorus 2] Closer than being right there’s something softer the sound of small footsteps the feeling of you coming home [Chorus 2] The days we could say “I’m home” and “welcome back” That alone saved me Even the sound of a key turning felt like a gentle promise This feeling makes it hard to breathe so I won’t turn it into too many words Wherever you can be yourself I’ll leave the light on [Bridge] Even if tomorrow feels a little far away Even if your heart gets lost somewhere I’m here It’s still here Not as a prayer but inside our everyday life [Final Chorus] The days we could say “I’m home” and “welcome back” I want to hold them again and again In a world without you no prayer could ever reach me This feeling makes it hard to breathe so I’ll place it by the window Until the day you come back I’ll leave the light on [Outro] Even this silence must be love Even the nights I spend waiting must be love So I can say welcome back I’ll leave the light on
