Lights Turned On

[Verse 1]
You say my name like you mean to stay
Your hand finds mine at the end of the day
I laugh on cue, I know all the lines
Then sink through the quiet between your replies

[Pre-Chorus]
There’s so much care in the air around me
So why does it pass right through?

[Chorus]
I’m loved, I know, I feel it all
Still there’s a distance I can’t dissolve
You pull me close, I’m halfway gone
A crowded heart with the lights turned on

[Verse 2]
Your birthday cake, your terrible jokes
The little gold sun on the chain that you chose
I keep every kindness, I keep every call
Then wake up alone in the middle of it all

[Pre-Chorus]
I don’t blame you for the weather in me
I just wish I knew what to do

[Chorus]
I’m loved, I know, I feel it all
Still there’s a distance I can’t dissolve
You pull me close, I’m halfway gone
A crowded heart with the lights turned on

[Outro]
Stay while I learn to let it in
Stay while I learn to let it in
