Keep the Lights On Lyrics
Hold your fingers up to the sun
Trace the bones, feel the blood run
Eyes shot red, don't burn the day
Say your name, tell yourself that everything is okay
The night's too long
So, when we sleep, I keep the lights on
Until the morning comes
When we sleep, I keep the lights on
Clear your ground, hold your throat
Un-speak all the words you ever spoke
Leave and lead yourself astray
Say your name, tell yourself that everything is okay
The night's too long
So, when we sleep, I keep the lights on
Until the morning comes
When we sleep, I keep the lights on
If I get up I'll hold your hand
Anyone else I can, I can
If I go under understand
Anyone else, you can, you can
If I get up I'll hold your hand
Anyone else I can, I can
And if I go under understand
And anyone else, you can, you can
The night's too long
So, when we sleep, I keep the lights on
Until the morning comes
When we sleep, I keep the lights on
The night's too long
So, when we sleep, I keep the lights on
Until the morning comes
When we sleep, I keep the lights on
Trace the bones, feel the blood run
Eyes shot red, don't burn the day
Say your name, tell yourself that everything is okay
So, when we sleep, I keep the lights on
Until the morning comes
When we sleep, I keep the lights on
Un-speak all the words you ever spoke
Leave and lead yourself astray
Say your name, tell yourself that everything is okay
So, when we sleep, I keep the lights on
Until the morning comes
When we sleep, I keep the lights on
Anyone else I can, I can
If I go under understand
Anyone else, you can, you can
Anyone else I can, I can
And if I go under understand
And anyone else, you can, you can
So, when we sleep, I keep the lights on
Until the morning comes
When we sleep, I keep the lights on
So, when we sleep, I keep the lights on
Until the morning comes
When we sleep, I keep the lights on

Sounds like someone afraid to go to sleep because of nightmares of a sort - associated with a breakdown or post traumatic experience.
