This song is another version of “Leave the Lights On” from the debut album. Besides some production differences, the chorus is changed here by Michelle singing all of the chorus, as opposed to the original cut where a male sang the “No matter where I start” part.
Leave the Light On Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Looking bright moving on
Some people say i'm dreaming
And yeah it's safe to say while i'm awake
All the world is sleeping
I shut my eyes, I shut my eyes
We can only get up, only get up
Get through this and it might not be so
Oh give me something, give me something to sell
Cause I ain't him, and I ain't her
I ate my way through this house
[Pre-Chorus]
As you guys do tricks
It doesn't work
I can't relate
[Chorus]
Scared to sleep
Scared of him
Hanging round me
Hovering down
No matter where I start
I will keep my heart in the dark
When she whispers I don't hear her till she barks
[Verse 2]
I got no mean, got no bone
Don't have one finished idea
But I have to say no matter what you say
Moses never walked on water
Another plaid shirt on the back of a chair
Another letter sent, it never got there
Never knew that you could be so
Just a stop, just a step in the climb
This isn't it, you must admit
There is more around the corner
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't hide, don't shut yourself out
Don't fear what people say
[Chorus]
Scared to sleep
Scared of him
Hanging round me
Hovering down
No matter where I start
I will keep my heart in the dark
When she whispers I don't hear her till she barks
