Leave Me a Light On
Guiding Light: A Song of Departure and Promise
Lyrics
Leave me a light on
Requesting to keep a light on as a beacon or signal upon returning home
For when I'm coming home
Anticipating arrival without a definite time
I don't quite know what time I'll be coming back but
Uncertainty about the exact time of return
I'll make sure to say hello
Commitment to greeting upon arrival despite uncertainty
You see this is all quite new to me
Expressing unfamiliarity with a certain emotional experience
Never had this feeling before
Never previously encountered this particular feeling
Somehow that feeling just doesn't wanna leave me
The feeling persists despite wanting to let it go
So I find it best to say goodbye and go, so
Prefer to leave and say farewell to cope with the feeling
Leave me a light on
Reiteration of the request to keep a light on for return
For when I'm coming home
Repeated anticipation of arrival with uncertain timing
I don't quite know what time I'll be coming back
Continued uncertainty regarding return timing
But I'll make sure to say hello, so
Commitment to greeting upon arrival despite uncertainty
Leave me, leave me a light on
Emphasizing the plea to keep a light on
Leave me, leave me a light on
Repetition for emphasis on the request
Oh, oh oh
Repetitive vocalizations
Oh, oh oh
-Oh, oh oh
-Leave me a light on
Reiteration of the request for a light to be left on
It's just I need a little time
Expressing the need for personal space and time to develop
A little space to grow
Desiring room for personal growth
I'm sorry for the way I work
Apologizing for causing pain through actions or behavior
I know it hurts but
Acknowledgment of causing hurt despite intentions
I'll be back to mend your broken heart, so
Promise to return and heal emotional wounds
Leave me a light on
Reiteration of the plea to leave a light on for return
For when I'm coming home
Repeated anticipation of arrival with uncertain timing
I don't quite know what time I'll be coming back
Continued uncertainty regarding return timing
But I'll make sure to say hello, so
Commitment to greeting upon arrival despite uncertainty
Leave me, leave me a light on
Emphasizing the plea to keep a light on
Leave me, leave me a light on
Repetition for emphasis on the request
Oh, oh oh
Repetitive vocalizations
Oh, oh oh
-Oh, oh oh
-Leave me a light on
Reiteration of the request for a light to be left on
Leave me a light on
Final plea to leave a light on for return
Leave me a light on
