I told you I'd leave a light on
In case you ever wanted to come back home
You smiled and said you appreciate the gesture
I took your every word to heart
'Cause I can't stand us bein' apart
And just to show how much I really miss you

Every light in the house is on
The backyard's bright as the crack of dawn
The front walk looks like runway lights
It's kind of like noon in the dead of night
Every light in the house is on
Just in case you ever do get tired of bein' gone
Every light in the house is on

If I should ever start forgettin'
I'll turn the lights off one by one
So you can see that I agree it's over
But until then I want you to know
If you look south, you'll see a glow
That's me waitin' at home each night to hold you

Every light in the house is on
Just in case you ever do get tired of bein' gone
Oh, every light in the house is on
The backyard's bright as the crack of dawn
The front walk looks like runway lights
It's kind of like noon in the dead of night
Whoa, every light in the house is on
Just in case you ever do get tired of bein' gone

Every light in the house is on
Every light in the house is on
Every light In the house is on
