[Intro – soft piano, organ swell, slow groove] [Verse 1 – intimate, restrained] I left the door half open Didn’t turn the lights all down Thought I heard you coming Every little sound There’s a chair still by the window Where you used to sit and stay I don’t move it, no I don’t I just let it stay that way [Pre-Chorus – slight lift] I tell myself it’s over But I don’t say it loud [Chorus – emotional, rising] So I leave the light on In case you change your mind Yeah I leave the light on Like I’m still waiting on a sign I know it sounds foolish But I can’t let it go So I leave the light on Even though I know --- [Verse 2 – deeper, worn] I tried to sleep without you But sleep don’t come too easy now Every night’s a long one And I don’t know how I poured a drink to forget you But it only brings you back Every road I take now Leads me off that track [Pre-Chorus – stronger] I tell myself I’m better But I don’t believe it yet [Chorus – bigger, more grit] So I leave the light on In case you change your mind Yeah I leave the light on Like I’m still waiting on a sign --- [Bridge – breakdown, piano + voice] (soft, breaking) If you ever think about it… If you ever come around… (pause) (stronger, pleading) You know where I’ll be --- [Build – organ rises, drums enter slowly] [Final Chorus – full, gospel feel, ad-libs] Yeah I leave the light on Even through the night (oh… yeah…) I keep holding on To what we left behind I know it’s over But I can’t let it go So I leave the light on Even though I know (yeah… I know…) [Outro – piano fades, vocal ad-libs] (leave it on… leave it on…)
