All the Lights Are On

[Verse 1]
Every pane holds a different life
A dinner table, a borrowed name
One room keeps the kettle singing
One door frames a summer rain

[Pre-Chorus]
My hands are numb around the keys
I count the rooms I cannot see

[Chorus]
All the lights are on, on, on
Which door will let me in?
All the lives are warm inside
While winter finds my skin
All the lights are on, on, on
I’m standing here between
A hundred homes I could have loved
And one I haven’t seen

[Verse 2]
A blue coat hangs beside the staircase
A paper moon above the sink
Someone laughs behind the curtains
I take one step, then stop to think

[Pre-Chorus]
The frost has written on my sleeve
Choose a handle, choose to leave

[Chorus]
All the lights are on, on, on
Which door will let me in?
All the lives are warm inside
While winter finds my skin
All the lights are on, on, on
I’m standing here between
A hundred homes I could have loved
And one I haven’t seen

[Bridge]
Maybe choice is not a map
Maybe home begins with touch
I turn one key against the dark
And don’t ask it to be much

[Final Chorus]
All the lights are on, on, on
I chose a door at last
All the lives I might have lived
Can keep their windows fast
All the lights are on, on, on
And one swings open wide
A hundred homes I could have loved
One lets me step inside

[Outro]
One lets me step inside
