Mm-mm I'm coming home Long day sitting heavy on my back Missed your call somewhere between the trains and traffic You said don't worry, take your time But I could hear the tired hiding in the line Some days we don't need fixing Some days words just get in the way So leave your shoes beside the doorway I'll bring dinner on the way Leave the light on for me (ooh) I'll be there before it gets too late You don't gotta clean the room You don't gotta fix your face Leave the light on for me Let the whole day fall apart I don't need the best of you Just wherever you are You apologize for being quiet again Like silence isn't something I understand Put your head against my shoulder when I get there We can let the television fill the air No big speeches No promises tonight Just your hand somewhere near mine And the kitchen light Leave the light on for me I'll be there before it gets too late You don't gotta clean the room You don't gotta fix your face Leave the light on for me Let the whole day fall apart I don't need the best of you Just wherever you are (yeah) Maybe love is smaller Than the movies make it seem Maybe it's remembering How you take your tea Leave the light on Mm I'm almost there
