Leave All the Lights On Lyrics
Guess things didn't go the way that you planned
I missed the days when you would understand
The way that I am.
You leave me feeling lonely and detached.
Every time I'm moving forward
We take two steps back.
I need to have a moment to myself.
County lines, clear my mind with someplace else
Besides this stairwell.
Alone and on the road, I'm overwhelmed.
I need to find the difference in how I feel and how I felt.
Leave all the lights on
And maybe I'll find my way back home.
Leave all the lights on,
I took this drive to be alone.
Leave all the lights on.
I wish I could get back to the way things were.
When we were young, having fun, so self assured
But now that's all a blur.
I miss the way we always used to talk.
Now we talk ourselves in circle 'til we forget why we fought.
Leave all the lights on
And maybe I'll find my way back home.
Leave all the lights on,
I took this drive to be alone.
Leave all the lights on,
If I'm not worth letting go.
Leave all the lights on
If you still care I need to know.
Leave all the lights on.
This gets me so down down down
Why can't we work it out? can't we work it out?
This makes me so down down down.
I've been trying to see, if you were meant for me.
You get me so down down down, I'm gonna turn this car around.
Just know that it's the last time,
Ya it's the last time.
Leave all the lights on
And maybe I'll find my way back home.
Leave all the lights on,
I took this drive to be alone.
Leave all the lights on (down down down)
If I'm not worth letting go.
Leave all the lights on,
down down down)
If you still cared I need to know.
Leave all the lights on.
Guess things didn't go the way that you planned.
I missed the days when you would understand
The way that I am.
You leave me feeling lonely and detached.
Every time I'm moving forward
We take two steps back.
I need to have a moment to myself.
County lines, clear my mind with someplace else
Besides this stairwell.
Alone and on the road, I'm overwhelmed.
I need to find the difference in how I feel and how I felt.
And maybe I'll find my way back home.
Leave all the lights on,
I took this drive to be alone.
Leave all the lights on.
When we were young, having fun, so self assured
But now that's all a blur.
I miss the way we always used to talk.
Now we talk ourselves in circle 'til we forget why we fought.
And maybe I'll find my way back home.
Leave all the lights on,
I took this drive to be alone.
Leave all the lights on,
If I'm not worth letting go.
Leave all the lights on
If you still care I need to know.
Leave all the lights on.
Why can't we work it out? can't we work it out?
This makes me so down down down.
I've been trying to see, if you were meant for me.
You get me so down down down, I'm gonna turn this car around.
Just know that it's the last time,
Ya it's the last time.
And maybe I'll find my way back home.
Leave all the lights on,
I took this drive to be alone.
Leave all the lights on (down down down)
If I'm not worth letting go.
Leave all the lights on,
down down down)
If you still cared I need to know.
Leave all the lights on.

I think this song is about a relationship, and the guy is trying to make something of himself, and move forward with his life, with the love of his life by his side. But the girl seems to be holding him back from him being successful. And he just wants to have a moment to himself to move forward and hes overwhelmed with balancing his girlfriend and his career path.
When he says leave all the lights on, hes saying he wants her to stay with him. And when he says maybe ill find my way back home, he means maybe he can find a way to work the whole situation out. He just needs some time to himself to figure out his future.
He wishes things could go back to the way things were, when they were young and they didnt have alot of responsibility apose to now, that they are older. And they were so sure they would be okay in the future. And this gets him down.
I love this song, good job ADTR :)
