"The Lights Are On" lyrics

"The Lights Are On"

Overcast and overblown
The lights are on but no one's home
Not much left to try

Certitudes and absolutes
Tonguing on a wisdom tooth
A little friend of mine

Couple hundred miles to go
Not a shelter from the cold
Nowhere left to hide

The sun she hangs behind a cloud
The lights are on I don't know how
I don't mind the drive

Does it make you weak?
Does it take its toll?
The lights are on but no one's home

Does it wear you thin?
Does it grind you down?
The lights are on and I don't know how
