Makeshift Innocence - Lights On lyrics

rate me

This song goes out to all the late but greats

Mr. Jimi Hendrix

Mr. Bob Marley

And Bradley Nowell

We leave our lights on!

Bradley from Sublime

Yeah I truly do miss him

I reminisce about the time

That we'd get high in the kitchen

Just listen!

We were kids

And high was just a position

Thinking we would quit one day

And that we'd never really miss it

But time kept going on

We kept the drugs to keep living

It's like a simple date with herb

Turned into a living condition

Popping pills to stay awake

And popping pills in the evening

Concealing what we felt

As the shit hit the ceiling

If you leave and you're all alone

I'll leave the lights on

Show you there's a place to go

I'll leave the lights on

Show you that there's still some hope

I'll leave the lights on baby

Lights on baby

And if you feel like you're all out of rope

I'll leave the lights on

Show you there's a place to go

I'll leave the lights on

Show you that there's still some road

I'll leave the lights on baby

Now thinking back

How ignorant we must have been

To have ever thought

That we'd escape the shit

That we called a friend

Take a hit when we would wake

And wash it down with some gin

I found your 40 ounces to freedom

And it was under my skin

Oh,

It was coursing through my veins

As it was laying it's trap

It's like I'm laying in a gurney

And these drugs are the straps

I hear the Doctors yelling out

That "we can get this one back"

But it's too late for me

As my heart rate goes flat

I want it back!

Praying that my heart will keep beating

Because I ain't ready to leave

You know I'll conquer my demons

Better believe

That if you bring this body to life

I'm a go home

And I'm a change my stripes tonight

OH,

If you leave and you're all alone

I'll leave the lights on

Show you there's a place to go

I'll leave the lights on

Show you that there's still some hope

I'll leave the lights on baby

Lights on baby

And if you feel like you're all out of rope

I'll leave the lights on

Show you there's a place to go

I'll leave the lights on

Show you that there's still some road

I'll leave the lights on baby

Now thinking back

Now thinking back

Now thinking back

Now thinking back

Praying that my heart will keep beating

Because I ain't ready to leave

You know I'll conquer my demons

Better believe

That if you bring this body to life

I'm a go home

And I'm a change my stripes tonight!

If you leave and you're all alone

I'll leave the lights on

Show you there's a place to go

I'll leave the lights on

Show you that there's still some hope

I'll leave the lights on baby

Lights on baby

And if you feel like you're all out of rope

I'll leave the lights on

Show you there's a place to go

I'll leave the lights on

Show you that there's still some road

I'll leave the lights on baby

Woah

Woah

Woah

I'm a leave the lights on

Woah

Woah

Woah
