lyrics

Turn the light back on
then shut it off
Let us know you’re safe from harm
Sat there for hours watching a street light cough
Looked it in the eye
sat and watched it die in the neighborhood’s arms

keep your head clean the best you can
your dreams make cartoons of your memories
if you're not careful you'll wake up a cartoon of a man
Turn the kettle on
Find a noble kind of buzz
Cut it with some milk and hold it to your lips
When the morning comes

Turn your head up
The sky’s above is looking at you
it's painted like an old TV screen God put a magnet to
Give it all the hours
Like we did when we were small
Stare up till it feels like you’re falling forever
No fear at all

Keep the light on keep looking
I know you’ll find
A mile long grin stretched far and wide
like the one that you had on a late night school bus ride
After a field trip that went completely right

Turn the light back on
then shut it off
just let us know you’re safe from harm
sat there for hours watching a street light cough
Looked it in the eye, sat and watched it die in the neighborhood’s arms.
