You're keeping something from me
You're trying to spare my heart
How can i shine a light when
You keep me in the dark
September is a restless season
It makes you wanna leave
If you need [bad word] for a little while
That's ok with me cause

Whenever [bad word] home
I'll leave a light on for you
Whenever [bad word] home
I'll leave a light on for you
It doesn't matter how long it takes
You know that i'll be waiting
Whenever [bad word] home
I'll leave a light on for you

I don't know how to read you
When you get this way
It's like you speak a different language
And love is lost in translation
Sometimes you're like a broken arrow
Your aim is not quite [bad word] But even though you miss the mark
Somehow you cut right through

Whenever [bad word] home
I'll leave a light on for you
Whenever [bad word] home
I'll leave a light on for you
It doesn't matter how long it takes
You know that i'll be waiting
Whenever [bad word] home
I'll leave a light on for you
