Leave a light, leave a light on
Leave a light, leave a light on
Leave a light, leave a light on
Leave a light on
Leave a light, leave a light on
Leave a light, leave a light on
Leave a light, leave a light on

It happened in the blink, blink, blink of the night
I guess it was the wrong, wrong side of goodbye
You caught me on the blind, blind, blind side
You didn't even stop once to think twice

Drove through the pouring rain
Weaved in and out of pain
Wanted to turn around, turn around
Wish I'd have done it now

I still remember how we left it that night
Said it was better if we both just moved along
But if you're telling me it's not the last time
I'll keep a light, I'll leave a light, light on
Leave a light on, I leave a light on
Leave a light on, I leave a light on
Leave a light on, I leave a light on
Leave a light on

We didn't lose the beat, beat, beat in our hearts
After falling in so deep, so hard
So if you're running round, round, round in the dark
I'll find a way to reignite the spark

Drove through the pouring rain
Weaved in and out of pain
Wanted to turn around, turn around
Wish I'd have done it now

I still remember how we left it that night
Said it was better if we both just moved along
But if you're telling me it's not the last time
I'll keep a light, I'll leave a light, light on
Leave a light on, I leave a light on
Leave a light on, I leave a light on
Leave a light on, I leave a light on
Leave a light on

So if you ever feel the need
Jump in your car and just drive back to me
Wherever you are, I will always leave the light on
So if you ever feel the need
Jump in your car and just drive back to me
Wherever you are, I will always leave the light on

Leave a light, leave a light on
Leave a light, leave a light on
Leave a light, leave a light on
I need you baby
Leave a light, leave a light on
Leave a light, leave a light on
Leave a light, leave a light on
Leave a light, leave a light on
Leave a light, leave a light on
Leave a light, leave a light on
I leave a light on

I still remember how we left it that night
Said it was better if we both just moved along
But if you're telling me it's not the last time
I'll keep a light, I'll leave a light, light on
Leave a light on, I leave a light on
Leave a light on, I leave a light on
Leave a light on, I leave a light on
Leave a light on

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Punchline
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran sings about missing his former partner and learning important life lessons in the process on “Punchline.” This track tells a story of battling to get rid of emotions for a former lover, whom he now realized might not have loved him the same way. He’s now caught between accepting that fact and learning life lessons from it and going back to beg her for another chance.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
