I grew up out in the desert
Where I learned to thrive alone
Lived in L. A. 'til it broke me
Oh, I rolled on like a stone
Found a girl and found a job
Just like they say good people do
Oh, but every now and then I turn to salt inside her wounds

Oh and all I know
Is we can't, we won't let go

Keeping the light on, light on, ain't easy
Keeping the fight on, for so long, is hard to do
For all the times you feel the weight
There might just be a better way
Won't deny that it feels so hard
When the night gets so dark
Keep keeping the light on

And I'm trying to get better
Every day I chase the sun
And I pray it's worth the heartache when I'm done

Oh and all I know
Is we can't, we won't let go

Keeping the light on, light on, ain't easy
Keeping the fight on, so long, is hard to do
For all the times you feel the weight
There might just be a better way
Won't deny that it feels so hard
When the night gets so dark
Keep keeping the light on

Oh, we can't, we won't, let go

Keeping the light on, the light on, ain't easy
Keeping the fight on, for so long, is hard to do
For all the times you feel the weight
There might just be a better way
Won't deny that it feels so hard
When the night gets so dark
Keep keeping the light on
