Home (Leave The Lights On)

[Verse 1] Cold snap like a coiled spring You can feel the frost coming on We are Marigolden, dropping orange and umber And barely holding on, just barely holding on And now the downtown's dolled up with tinsel and angels Seasons sneak like hair cuts teased apart and tangled We were praying for awhile and we took it all down Like garland and the traffic signals [Chorus] Leave the lights on Cause it might be nighttime when I get there When I'm on my way home Leave the the lights on Cause it might be nighttime when I get there And I'm on my way home [Verse 2 Putting on old clothes in a new way Putting on a pose of a new stage Waking up every day just a little bit changed As it breaks over us like waves Long live beauty, short live pain Lust for wonder, and hunger pain Face your fears, not your shame Cause in the end it just wears away [Chorus] [Verse 3] I been clawing away at what's underneath Closer than solid ground beneath your feet Closer even now than lips and teeth Closer now than out of reach And the body remembers what the mind forgets Archives every heartbreak and cigarette And these reset bones, they might not hold Yeah but they might yet [Chorus]
