[Verse 1]
Now you look for love in the times of hate
How many swipes for a blow of fate
You keep the light on
You keep the light on
You keep the night light on
Every day is like the same old song
Until everything right goes wrong
You keep the light on
You keep the light on
You keep the night light on
[Chorus]
Hold your broken dream up high
Oh, you know you try
Oh, you know you try
It's the worst case scenario lullaby
[Verse 2]
And then the rent is just a little too late
Ain't gonna be no birthday cake
You keep the light on
You keep the light on
You keep the night light on
[Chorus]
Hold your broken dream up high
Oh, you know you try
Oh, you know you try
It's the worst case scenario lullaby
Oh, you know you try
Oh, you know you try
It's the worst case scenario lullaby
[Verse 3]
Even if the cops come and knock on your door
And the pills spill out on the floor
You keep the light on
You keep the light on
You keep the night light on
[Chorus]
Hold your broken dream up high
Oh, you know you try
Oh, you know you try
It's the worst case scenario lullaby
[Bridge]
Something's gotta change (Something's gotta change)
Something's gotta change
Hold on (Hold on)
Hold on (Hold on)
Hold on to something good
Something's gotta change (Something's gotta change)
Something's gotta change
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on to something good
[Outro]
Try to soothe yourself to sleep my dear
You know this whole mess is born from fear
You keep the light on
You keep the light on
Keep the night light on
Keep the light on
The light on
The night light on
