What I'm singing gets stuck in my throat
I sing something but it's not what I wrote
What I say and the things that I mean
Are quite often different things
When I think that you should be wary
I don't mean to sound scary
Or alarming at all
But appearance can be deceptive
New weapons invented
Each time we are born
Will you leave the light on
At night in your window
So I know the way
When I come home to you
I make it hard even though it is simple
And I know what I've got to do
Oh, woah oh
Oh, woah oh
I feel hollow, tired and cold
I can't swallow humility whole
'Cause my pride is still in the way
From the last time I did it my way
And I'm crying as I look in the mirror
'Cause I feel like a sinner
And I can't be at all
As the starlight reflects on the water
I start feeling I 'oughta relinquish control
Will you leave the light on at night in your window
So I know the way when I come home to you
I make it hard even though it is simple
And I know what I've got to do
Woah-oh, oh
Woah-oh, oh
Woah-oh, oh
Woah-oh, oh
Will you leave the light on at night in your window
So I know the way when I come home to you
I make it hard even though it is simple
And I know what I've got to do
Oh, will you leave the light on at night in your window
So I know the way when I come home to you
I make it hard even though it is simple
And I know what I've got to do
Woah-oh oh
Woah-oh oh
Woah-oh oh
Woah-oh oh
Woah-oh oh
