Lights On Lyrics - Yours To Keep - Makeshift Innocence

This song goes out to all the late but greats 

Mr. Jimi Hendrix 

Mr. Bob Marley 

And Bradley Nowell 

We leave our lights on! 

Bradley from Sublime 

yeah I truly do miss him 

I reminisce about the time 

that wed get high in the kitchen 

just listen! 

We were kids 

and high was just a position 

thinking we would quit one day 

and that wed never really miss it 

but time kept going on 

we kept the drugs to keep living 

its like a simple date with herb 

turned into a living condition 

popping pills to stay awake 

and popping pills in the evening 

concealing what we felt 

as the shit hit the ceiling 

If you leave and youre all alone 

I'll leave the lights on 

show you theres a place to go 

I'll leave the lights on 

show you that theres still some hope 

I'll leave the lights on baby 

lights on baby 

And if you feel like youre all out of rope 

I'll leave the lights on 

show you theres a place to go 

I'll leave the lights on 

show you that theres still some road 

I'll leave the lights on baby 

Now thinking back 

how ignorant we must have been 

to have ever thought 

that wed escape the shit 

that we called a friend 

take a hit when we would wake 

and wash it down with some gin 

I found your 40 ounces to freedom 

and it was under my skin 

oh, 

it was coursing through my veins 

as it was laying its trap 

its like I'm laying in a gurney 

and these drugs are the straps 

I hear the Doctors yelling out 

that we can get this one back 

but its too late for me 

as my heart rate goes flat 

I want it back! 

Praying that my heart will keep beating 

because I ain't ready to leave 

you know I'll conquer my demons 

better believe 

that if you bring this body to life 

I'm a go home 

and I'm a change my stripes tonight 

OH, 

If you leave and youre all alone 

I'll leave the lights on 

show you theres a place to go 

I'll leave the lights on 

show you that theres still some hope 

I'll leave the lights on baby 

lights on baby 

And if you feel like youre all out of rope 

I'll leave the lights on 

show you theres a place to go 

I'll leave the lights on 

show you that theres still some road 

I'll leave the lights on baby 

Now thinking back 

Now thinking back 

Now thinking back 

Now thinking back 

praying that my heart will keep beating 

because I ain't ready to leave 

you know I'll conquer my demons 

better believe 

that if you bring this body to life 

I'm a go home 

and I'm a change my stripes tonight! 

If you leave and youre all alone 

I'll leave the lights on 

show you theres a place to go 

I'll leave the lights on 

show you that theres still some hope 

I'll leave the lights on baby 

lights on baby 

And if you feel like youre all out of rope 

I'll leave the lights on 

show you theres a place to go 

I'll leave the lights on 

show you that theres still some road 

I'll leave the lights on baby 

Woah 

Woah 

Woah 

Im a leave the lights on 

Woah 

Woah 

Woah
