Leave The Light On Lyrics

Do you remember when you said to me:
"now I lay me down to dream
I pray to you my soul to keep"
I thought to rise before the week
and if I die before i wake,
this heart of mine is yours to take
I fell for you while I wached you sleep

and now your all dressed down in your bed clothes
falling whichever the way the wind blows
I hope it takes you home
(x2)

you make believe you don't get colder when it snows
she says i'll leave the light on,
if you promise you'll come home
and oh how I miss that city love,
this is too much to take
so if I sleep tonight I'll think of you
and hope I die, and hope I die before I wake

tonight I won't lie down
you see your lips won't make a sound
I keep my fingers crossed that the rain might stop,
in hopes that I won't drown
we're just strangers sharing beds with memories
we're talking heads,
our bodies fell apart and made an awful mess

Now you're falling out of your dress clothes
Into the arms of...
Oh, who knows.
If memory serves me well,
I miss you so.

you make believe you don't get colder when it snows
she says i'll leave the light on,
if you promise you'll come home
and oh how I miss that city love,
this is too much to take
so if I sleep tonight I'll think of you
and hope I die, and hope I die before I wake

We'll sit pretty on the city rooftops
We'll keep singing 'til the music stops
We'll lose our voices in the name of love
But sometimes love just isn't enough

I've got high hopes, and no, I won't grow old
I've got that style and that chicago soul
I've got matchstick feet,
come and dance with me
We'll set fire to the streets

You look so pretty on the city rooftops
Please keep singing 'til the music stops
Your silhouette's so close to home
You know I need you now,
Don't go.

(repeat twice with background going: "i'll leave the light on if you promise")
