If you head west on the Blue Line
Across the water you might find
A once love who I once knew
Under the red glow
Of the sickening suburban gloom
Where the streetlights sing a fading tune
Where your heart aches over nothing
Cos the freeway is the silence
And the strangers at the strip mall
Are the only friends that you ever knew
The lonely faces on the subway telling you they love you too
Why do you leave a light on?
When there's nobody home
Does it drive away your darkness?
Does it frighten your ghosts?
The hardest part of coming back is letting go
I'll bury this town by the bottle
By the river in the summer
And I'll drown it in the water cos there's nothing left to say to you
Virginia Sapphire's overrated
It got me fucked up, dehydrated
So I'm sinking slowly to a memory of all my wasted youth
So, why do you leave a light on?
When there's nobody home
Does it drive away your darkness?
Does it frighten your ghosts?
Why do you leave a light on?
When there's nobody home
The hardest part of coming back is letting go
Why do you leave a light on?
When there's nobody home
Does it drive away your darkness?
Does it frighten your ghosts?
Why do you leave a light on?
When there's nobody home
Does it drive away your darkness?
Does it frighten your ghosts?
Does it frighten your ghosts?
Does it frighten your ghosts?
Does it frighten
Your
Ghosts?
