[Verse 1]
Every leaky faucet and floorboard
Squeaking from the dusk until dawn
Whispering your name like a ten-ton weight
I still can’t comprehend that you’re gone
I know that there was life here before you
But I can’t quite recall all the steps
The melody and band are still playing
But I’m stuck here in place when you left
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I can’t run to Pennsylvania
And crawl to my father’s side
Sure can’t run to my mother
What I’d give for just a little time
[Chorus]
So I won’t do anything
I can’t do anything
I want to fight the good fight on
But I need to keep my night light on
[Verse 2]
When my mother left - I knew nothing
Of what had come, gone, or what was there
I sang a song of love at her funeral
My heart had no reaction prepared
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I don't feel I belong here
There's no light at the end of the tracks
This cursed path I've been given
With heart and panic attacks
[Chorus]
But I won't do anything
I can’t do anything
I want to fight the good fight on
But I need to keep my night light on
[Bridge]
Now you’re gone
And I don’t know
How to take my coat off
I’m into the arms
Of any beating heart
Where love can start to bloom
Now you’re gone
And can’t seem to put my shoes away
Vacant eyed
I will eviscerate
All that remains
And never feel again this way
[Chorus]
But I won't do anything
I can’t do anything
I want to fight the good fight on
But I need to keep my night light on
Every leaky faucet and floorboard
Squeaking from the dusk until dawn
Whispering your name like a ten-ton weight
I still can’t comprehend that you’re gone
I know that there was life here before you
But I can’t quite recall all the steps
The melody and band are still playing
But I’m stuck here in place when you left
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I can’t run to Pennsylvania
And crawl to my father’s side
Sure can’t run to my mother
What I’d give for just a little time
[Chorus]
So I won’t do anything
I can’t do anything
I want to fight the good fight on
But I need to keep my night light on
[Verse 2]
When my mother left - I knew nothing
Of what had come, gone, or what was there
I sang a song of love at her funeral
My heart had no reaction prepared
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I don't feel I belong here
There's no light at the end of the tracks
This cursed path I've been given
With heart and panic attacks
[Chorus]
But I won't do anything
I can’t do anything
I want to fight the good fight on
But I need to keep my night light on
[Bridge]
Now you’re gone
And I don’t know
How to take my coat off
I’m into the arms
Of any beating heart
Where love can start to bloom
Now you’re gone
And can’t seem to put my shoes away
Vacant eyed
I will eviscerate
All that remains
And never feel again this way
[Chorus]
But I won't do anything
I can’t do anything
I want to fight the good fight on
But I need to keep my night light on
