Leave the Light On Lyrics

I wish I were sad
Like a cliche granny stuck to the stars
For tall dark and handsome strangers

I wish I were washed up at the edge of my life
So I could feel genuine about
Leaving the light on just because it makes it feel
Like someone might be home

A knocking on the door
Just makes me feel more
Like sitting here by myself
And a letter makes me cry
And I'm a little boy again
Feeling so...
Left out, hoping as I leave that someone might be home

I am nothing special the roles trap me too
I am nothing special the roles trap me too
I am nothing special the roles trap me too
I am nothing special
Someone might be home

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
