lyrics

I woke up in Calgary
Where do I go now?
In the middle of nowhere
Is where I’ll always be found.
Endless stretch of highway
With you in my head.
It’s tough being together,
Sleeping in an empty bed.

It’s up to you
Will you walk out, just disappear?
It’s up to you, you
You know how I feel.

Leave the lights on, honey.
Leave the lights on, honey.
Leave the lights on, for me.

I woke up beside you
Where do we go now?
‘Cause in the beginning
There was never a doubt.
I wish I was staying
But, I have to go.
I picture this moment
On my way to Ontario.

It’s up to you
Will you walk out, just disappear?
It’s up to you, you
You know how I feel.

Leave the lights on, honey.
Leave the lights on, honey.
Leave the lights on, for me.

Can we start over again?
Then we won’t have to pretend.
After all that’s been said,
The scenes play back in my head.

Leave the lights on, honey.
Leave the lights on, honey.
Leave the lights on, for me.
Leave the lights on, honey.
Leave the lights on, honey.
Leave the lights on, for me.

Ever changing
Ever waiting
Ever changing
Ever wasting time.

Leave the lights on, baby.
Leave the lights on, now.
Leave the lights on, for me.
Leave the lights on, now.
