Light On – Maggie Rogers
Would you believe me now
If I told you I got caught up in a wave?
Almost gave it away.
Would you hear me out
If I told you I was terrified for days?
Thought I was gonna break.
Oh, I couldn’t stop it,
Tried to slow it all down.
Crying in the bathroom,
Had to figure it out,
With everyone around me saying,
“You must be so happy now.”
Oh, if you keep reaching out,
Then I’ll keep coming back.
And if you’re gone for good,
Then I’m okay with that.
If you leave the light on,
Then I’ll leave the light on.
And I am finding out
There’s just no other way
That I’m still dancing at the end of the day.
If you leave the light on,
Then I’ll leave the light on.
And do you believe me now
That I always had the best intentions, babe?
Always wanted to stay.
Can you feel me now,
That I’m vulnerable in oh-so many ways?
Oh, and I’ll never change.
Oh, I couldn’t stop it,
Tried to figure it out.
But everything kept moving,
And the noise got too loud,
With everyone around me saying,
“You should be so happy now.”
Oh, if you keep reaching out,
Then I’ll keep coming back.
And if you’re gone for good,
Then I’m okay with that.
And if you leave the light on,
Then I’ll leave the light on.
