Leave One Light On

V6

[Verse 1] A paper cup cools beside the wheel Rain draws lines across the glass Your message waits beneath my thumb A small blue door I cannot pass [Pre-Chorus] The road keeps pulling past the shops Past signs I used to know I count the turns by memory And let the quiet go [Chorus] If you are somewhere past this town Leave one light on for me I’ll follow every borrowed mile Until the road turns clean No promises, no grand return Just footsteps meeting dawn If you are somewhere past this town I’ll find the way you’re on [Verse 2] A folded map slips from the seat Your handwriting marks the coast The places we were scared to name Are the ones I need the most [Bridge] Maybe leaving is a kind of prayer Maybe distance tells the truth I kept the ordinary things Because they still lead back to you [Chorus] If you are somewhere past this town Leave one light on for me I’ll follow every borrowed mile Until the road turns clean No promises, no grand return Just footsteps meeting dawn If you are somewhere past this town I’ll find the way you’re on [Outro] The cup is cold, the rain has thinned The first birds cross the gray I turn the wheel toward open ground And keep your name unspoken
