I Leave The Light On

I fold the room in half Just to make your shape The clock keeps its small voice Against the windowpane I learn your empty side Like a prayer by heart And every darker hour Pulls me back apart I don't call it moving on I call it staying near To the space you left behind To the ache I still keep here I leave the light on For what you were I leave the light on For what won't return And it feels like home It feels like rain The shape of you In my hands again Your name in the hallway Your coat on a chair I know they're only echoes But I still go there The mattress remembers The pull of your sleep I turn to the silence And let it keep me I don't call it moving on I call it staying near To the space you left behind To the ache I still keep here I leave the light on For what you were I leave the light on For what won't return And it feels like home It feels like rain The shape of you In my hands again Maybe this is all I know The soft place where you go I hold the missing like a song And let it haunt me slow I leave the light on For what you were I leave the light on For what won't return And it feels like home It feels like rain The shape of you In my hands again I leave the light on I leave it on For the one I lost And the one I want
