"That's Why I Still Sleep With The Lights On" lyrics

"That's Why I Still Sleep With The Lights On"

I'm on fire when you're near
When you call my name, when you call my name
Burn like fire when you're here
When you call my name, when you call my name

At night sometimes I hear you under my bed
I take my time, I hope it's not what I dread
Praying, oh God, that you hold me close
Shut both my eyes, I don't wanna see her ghost
That's why I still sleep with the lights on
That's why I still sleep with the lights on
I crack my blinds afraid to see what's outside
That's why I still sleep with the lights on
Your branch, it sways and takes my breath with the night
That's why I still sleep with the lights on
Feel you breathing like a siren's call
Hear your voice from the dark side of the hall

I'm on fire when you're near
When you call my name, when you call my name
Burn like fire when you're near
When you call my name, when you call my name

I stand up tall, I put my back against the wall
That's why I still sleep with the lights on
I spread my arms, my hands and tell you I'm yours
That's why I still sleep with the lights on
Look you dead into the eye and hum
"I'm alright, take whatever you have come for"
Go, go, leave me alone
Take what you came for and leave the light on
Go, go, leave me alone
Take what you came for and leave the light on
Go, go, leave me alone
Take what you came for
Go, go, leave me alone
Take what you came for, oh

I'm on fire when you're near
When you call my name, when you call my name
Burn like fire when you're here
When you call my name, when you call my name, call my name

That's why I still sleep with the lights on
That's why I still sleep with the lights on
That's why I still sleep with the lights on
Yeah, that's why I still sleep—
Yeah, that's why I still sleep—
That's why I still sleep with the lights on
Yeah
With the lights on
With the lights on
Yeah
Oh-oh
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh, oh
