Do you remember how it felt when it all crashed down? 'Cause I've been trying to forget, but I swear that I still hear the sound What started as a gentle hum, began to quiet down It's turning to a ring, and getting louder now Chipping away at the pavement outside your house Shut my eyes and hope I wake up To the wave of the breeze from your screened in porch Just promise that you'll leave the light on To point me toward true north Can you feel the arrhythmic sound of the rain beating down? It's getting steady now, but I still feel something hanging around With every second glance all in and out of phase We're few and far between and getting further away Been tripping over the coastline since I left town Shut my eyes and hope I wake up To the wave of the breeze from your screened in porch Just promise that you'll leave the light on To point me toward true north So hold on tight until I'm back home Turn away from the dark when the sun goes down Just promise that you'll leave the light on To point me toward true north Leave the light on Leave the light on Leave the light on Leave the light on Shut my eyes and hope I wake up To the sound of the rain on your screened in porch Just promise that you'll leave the light on To point me toward true north Hold on tight until I'm back home Turn away from the dark when the sun goes down Just promise that you'll leave the light on To point me toward true north
