"Sleeping With The Lights On" lyrics

"Sleeping With The Lights On"

Like poetry, you said some things
Aren't I supposed to be, but me
I have to just agree to disagree
Empty dresser drawer
You wore my sweater out the door
And poured my heart onto the floor
And all what for?

And in my head, oh, you're still calling me up
And I'm still calling your bluff
You say it's not really done
I'm still the one that you want
But it's a dream that I lost
And I just can't turn it off
Turn it off, turn it off, turn it off

On the darkest nights, I can hear you calling
From inside my mind, playing like a song
And it goes on and on, ever since you up and gone
I've been sleeping with the lights on
Flip the switch, everything gets heavy
And my mind's a bitch, playing all the memories
It goes on and on, ever since you up and gone
I've been sleeping with the lights on

Memories, they fill the wall
Like paint and nails and frames that fall
And break the smile beneath the window pane
Those sheets still smell like you
And your pistachio perfume
So I don't go back in that room
'Cause what's the use?

And in my head, oh, you're still calling me up
And I'm still calling your bluff
You say it's not really done
I'm still the one that you want
But it's a dream that I lost
And I just can't turn it off
Turn it off, turn it off, turn it off

On the darkest nights, I can hear you calling
From inside my mind, playing like a song
And it goes on and on, ever since you up and gone
I've been sleeping with the lights on
Flip the switch, everything gets heavy
And my mind's a bitch, playing all the memories
It goes on and on, ever since you up and gone
I've been sleeping with the lights on

Lights on
Sleeping with the lights on
Oh

On the darkest nights, I can hear you calling
From inside my mind, playing like a song
And it goes on and on, ever since you up and gone
I've been sleeping with the lights on
Flip the switch, everything gets heavy (Oh)
And my mind's a bitch, playing all the memories
It goes on and on, ever since you up and gone
I've been sleeping with the lights on
