Leave the light on when you go
So I can find where my heart landed when you threw it on the floor
Leave the light on when you go, go, go
Leave the light on when you go
Leave a toolbox when you split
For the girl who'll find my soul and try to reassemble it
Leave the light on when you go, go, go
Leave the light on when you go
'Cause I'll miss watching shooting stars
While shooting off our hopes and dreams
I'll miss late-night Buffy marathons
As we slayed life's scary things
I'll miss dancing by the kitchen sink and kissing you goodnight
I'm not all right
At least I have the light
Leave your consolations at the door
'Cause I doubt you'll find a new one, girl, I've heard them all before
Leave the light on when you go, go, go
Leave the light on when you go
Leave a matchbox over there
So I can burn the things I gave you even though you didn't care
Leave the light on when you go, go, go
Leave the light on when you go
'Cause I hate driving out to nowhere
Every time you drive me mad
I hate fighting back the thought
Of all the fights you made us have
I hate watching you be loose when I just want to hold you tight
But I'll be all right
Yeah, I don't need the light
Don't leave anything at all
It's not goodbye; this is good riddance
After all this time, I'm finally standing tall
But leave the light on when you go, go, go
Leave the light on when you go
Leave the light on when you go
'Cause now my life is so much brighter 'cause you're not in it anymore
Leave the light on when you go, go, go
Leave the light on when you go
