Leave The Light On Album Lyrics by Bailey Zimmerman

Intro

The songs you're about to listen to are stories from my life that I lived
And I hope they make y'all feel something
This is Leave The Light On

---

Never Leave

Yeah, we're only human
But that don't mean that we can't change
I can hurt you, you can hurt me
But we feel each other's pain
And that's what makes us human
That I could break your heart in two
And still love you through all the days we've been gettin' through

For both our sake, let's put love back in its place

I won't give up on you, so darlin', don't give up on me
Don't you wanna stay? Don't just walk away from our memories
And I can't promise nothin' but the rest of me
I'll fight for you, I'll fight for us, I'll fight to never leave

And life don't make it easy
But you're the reason my heart beats
You swore you'd never leave me
So I've been thinkin' it'd be easy to get down on one knee

For both our sake, let's put love back in its place

I won't give up on you, so darlin', don't give up on me
Don't you wanna stay? Don't just walk away from our memories
And I can't promise nothin' but the rest of me
I'll fight for you, I'll fight for us, I'll fight to never leave

I promise not to let you fall
I said that I would give my all
And you know that won't change
Yeah, it'll always be the same

I won't give up on you, so darlin', don't give up on me
Don't you wanna stay? Don't just walk away from the memories
And I can't promise nothin' but the rest of me
I'll fight for you, I'll fight for us, I'll fight to never leave, never leave
Never leave, never leave, never leave

Waiting

Another day without you
Another midnight call
Distance ain't no friend of mine
Another lonesome highway
Another one of our songs
Nothin' gets you off my mind

But I'm waitin', yeah, I'm waitin'
For you to pick up the phone
And tell me that you're coming home
Yeah, I'm waitin', I'm waitin'
Every minute of every day
Just to hear you say
"I love you until we're dead and gone"
So I'm waitin'

Through every storm we weather
And through every page that's torn
I guess missin' you takes its time
And every minute and mile between us
Keeps me leanin' on a prayer to Jesus
Beggin' for the day He come back home

So I'm waitin', yeah, I'm waitin'
For you to pick up the phone
And tell me that you're comin' home
Yeah, I'm waitin', I'm waitin'
Every minute of every day
Just to hear you say
"I love you until we're dead and gone"
So I'm waitin'

I'm waitin', yeah, I'm waitin'
For you to come running home
So I can hold you in my arms
I'm waitin', I'm waitin'
Every minute of every day
Just to hear you say
"I love you until we're dead and gone"
And I'm gon' love you until we're dead and gone
So I'm waitin'

House On Fire

Baby, are we burnin' out?
Hearts are getting heavy
I can see some dark grey clouds
And they're rollin' in steady

Yeah, I can see the sunshine fadin' from your brown eyes
Days ain't been the same but I'm holdin' on real tight
Are we burnin' out?
'Cause our hearts are getting heavy

We can set this house on fire
Grab the gasoline, let's get back to you and me, baby
Watch them flames get high
Burn up every reason, forget about you leavin'
And watch them sparks fly right back in your eyes
Set this house on fire

Baby, do you hear that sound?
Can't you hear it fallin'?
The second that it hits the ground
Yeah, you know I'm all in

'Cause I can see the sunshine lightin' up your brown eyes
Days ain't been the same, don't you think it's about time
That we burn it down?
Get back to where we started

And set this house on fire
Grab the gasoline, let's get back to you and me, baby
Watch them flames get higher
Burn up every reason, forget about you leavin'
And watch them sparks fly right back in your eyes
And set this house on fire

Set this house on fire
Set it on fire

We can set this house on fire
Grab the gasoline, let's back to you and me, baby
Watch them flames get high
Burn up every reason, forget about you leavin'
And watch them sparks fly right back in your eyes
I'm gonna make them sparks fall right back in your eyes
And set this house on fire

Baby, are we burnin' out?
'Cause my heart is getting heavy

From The Fall

She said, "Boy, won't you come over, I still miss you all the time
It's a bittersweet October and I'm headed for the northern pines
Well, this autumn fall feels empty
Black and white leaves touch the ground
You're the only color I've got left and it's slowly fading out"

All this distance left between us, keeps me locked inside my head
Try to tell myself, "It's over" but I'm hangin' on by a thread
Oh, dear love of mine, forgive me
I'm still learning how to shake the frost

Writing these letters from the fall
Like a goodbye kiss that never leaves at all
And this cold weather won't be long
But it feels like forever just waitin' for you to come home
Writing these letters from the fall

I said, "Girl, won't you believe me, you're the only one that's mine
As the days keep draggin' slower, it seems like we're losin' time
But this pin it's spins our memories, from that summer in Tupelo
I still dream about our future and breakin' off this broken road"

Writing these letters from the fall
Like a goodbye kiss that never leaves at all
And this cold weather won't be long
But it feels like forever just waitin' for you to come home
Writing these letters from the fall

She said "Boy, won't you come over, I still miss you all the time"
I said, "Girl, won't you believe me, I'm headed for the northern pines"

Trainwreck

Left your tracks, running through my front door
When you rolled by every night at nine
And you're telling me you wanna fix what's broken, oh
Yet you're gone before the morning light

You sure know how to shake this house
And leave a man restless
"I love you", shouldn't leave your mouth
'Cause that's when things get reckless

'Cause when you're on my mind
I drink a little more, yeah, smoke a little more, yeah
It's always one last time
My engines on fire, burning these tires
Yeah, I'm already headed off of these two rails
Flyin' straight back to where we fell
I wanted the fast track but now I want you back
Since you left, I'm just a trainwreck

And all these problems, should've hit 'em head on, girl, oh
Instead we let all the crazy drive
And all these memories are hittin' home harder, oh
Can't keep my eyes between the yellow lines

'Cause when you're on my mind
I drink a little more, yeah, smoke a little more, yeah
It's always one last time
My engines on fire, burning these tires
Yeah, I'm already headed off of these two rails
Flyin' straight back to where we fell
I wanted the fast track but now I want you back
Since you left, I'm a trainwreck

You sure know how to shake this house
Leavin' me restless (restless)
"I love you", keeps runnin' its mouth
Keepin' us reckless

'Cause when you're on my mind
I drink a little more, yeah, smoke a little more, yeah
It's always one last time
My engines on fire, burning these tires (tires)
Up and down them county lines
Dodgin' every caution light
On my way back to you
Shoulda hit the brakes, shoulda used my mind
It's too late, I'm pullin' on your drive
Ain't no getting 'round it tonight
We're a trainwreck

Fall in Love

I heard you moved out to South Carolina
Just like you always said we would
Packed your bags in that old 4Runner
That I bought you when things were good
I'm glad to see the stop sign didn't hit ya
Bring you back to your senses
Oh, it waved you gone, goodbye
Yeah, it waved you gone, goodbye

I heard you found yourself a brand new man
Put a rock on your finger
And he vowed you a second chance
Built a house right by the coast
That ocean view is beautiful
But baby, I just want you to know
He don't know you like I did
And money talks, but I ain't buyin'

'Cause love's a smoke ring
Wrapped around your finger
One second it's a blessin'
And the next it's already gone
A broken heart, I'm a walkin' testimony
My confession is a lesson
That I'm pourin' out in this song
Oh-whoa-whoa, oh-whoa-whoa
You don't wanna fall in love
Oh-whoa-whoa, oh-whoa-whoa
You don't wanna fall in love

I seen your mama walkin' out the county market
And I stopped to ask her how she's been
And said she's missin' ya
And tried to go convincin' ya
Not to settle down with him
She ain't wrong, the whole town knows it
You had a bed of roses
But girl, you couldn't walk that line
You can act like you're doin' fine

'Cause love's a smoke ring
Wrapped around your finger
One second it's a blessin'
And the next it's already gone
A broken heart, I'm a walkin' testimony
My confession is a lesson
That I'm pourin' out in this song
Oh-whoa-whoa, oh-whoa-whoa
You don't wanna fall in love
Oh-whoa-whoa, oh-whoa-whoa
You don't wanna fall in love

'Cause love's a smoke ring
Wrapped around your finger
One second it's a blessin'
And the next it's already gone
A broken heart, I'm a walkin' testimony
My confession is a lesson
That I'm pourin' out in this song
Oh-whoa-whoa, oh-whoa-whoa
You don't wanna fall in love
Oh-whoa-whoa, oh-whoa-whoa
You don't wanna fall in love
Oh-whoa-whoa, oh-whoa-whoa
You don't wanna fall in love
Oh-whoa-whoa, oh-whoa-whoa

Heard you moved out to South Carolina
Just like you always said we would

Rock and a Hard Place

We've been swingin' and missin'
It ain't broke yet, but damn, it needs fixin'
Been a while since your kiss felt like kissin'
It's just different

We've been talkin' 'bout forever since we've been together
Somethin' 'bout a ring makes you think we're better off with
All this but we're caught in

Between a rock and a hard place
Red wine and mistakes
Tears rollin' down your face
When I walked out that door
And that's when I lost it
A midnight in Austin
Damn, I'm exhausted
What the hell's this all for?
Is this where it mends or it breaks?
Between a rock and a hard place

For the record, shit
Throwin' in the towel takes some effort
So I'd rather ride it out for better weather
Together

Between a rock and a hard place
Red wine and mistakes
Tears rollin' down your face
When I walked out that door
And that's when I lost it
A midnight in Austin
Damn, I'm exhausted
What the hell's this all for?
Is this where it mends or it breaks?
Between a rock and a hard place

We've been talkin' 'bout forever since we've been together
Something 'bout a ring makes you think we're better off with
All this but we're caught in

Between a rock and a hard place
Tears rollin' down your face
As I walked out that door
And that's when I lost it
Midnight in Austin
Damn, I'm exhausted
What the hell's this all for?
Is this where it mends or it breaks?
How much more of this can we take?

Where It Ends

This is where it ends
I've been down a few broken roads that I'm tryin' to mend
But this is where it ends
And I'm breakin' down
You were lyin' when you said that you were tryin' to work things out
But now I'm broken down

Went to battle for you always
Fought for you on your worst days
Then you told me that you don't love me no more

You're the last thing that I thought I'd lose
All I ever wanted was to be loved by you
I let you back in and I gave you a second chance
And like a jet plane on a clear blue sky
Sun came shinin' down on all of your lies
I got too much pride to let that happen again
So this is where it ends

Had to bury all your memories
Couldn't see what everybody sees
Red flags said I should've walked out that door (out that door)

Went to battle for you always
Fought for you on your worst days
Then you told me that you don't love me no more

You're the last thing that I thought I'd lose
All I ever wanted was to be loved by you
I let you back in and I gave you a second chance
And like a jet plane on a clear blue sky
Sun came shinin' down on all of your lies
I got too much pride to let that happen again
So this is where it ends, ends, ends
Yeah, this is where it ends

You're the best thing that ever happened to me
You showed me what true love shouldn't be
I found myself the second I gave up on us (on us)

You're the last thing that I thought I'd lose
All I ever wanted was to be loved by you
I let you back in and I gave you a second chance (a second chance)
And like a jet plane on a clear blue sky
Sun came shinin' down on all of your lies
I got too much pride to let that happen again
So this is where it ends
