Sleep With The Lights On

Lyrics

Verse 1
Living life on the edge
Frayed coat
Same shoes
Counting cracks in the pavement
Like I’m tracking bad news

Cheap coffee at midnight
Blue glow on my face
Tell myself I’m alright
As my heart starts to race

Chorus
I sleep with the lights on
’Cause my dreams turn into knives
Little demons in the drywall
Spelling out my flaws at night
I sleep with the lights on
Just to prove I’m still alive
Living life on the edge
One day at a time (one day at a time)

Verse 2
Every shadow’s a story
Every creak knows my name
Got a smile for the daytime
But it slips in the rain

Friends say I’m doing better
“Look how far you’ve come”
But they don’t hear the whisper
When the room comes undone (yeah)

Chorus
I sleep with the lights on
’Cause my dreams turn into knives
Little demons in the drywall
Spelling out my flaws at night
I sleep with the lights on
Just to prove I’m still alive
Living life on the edge
One day at a time (one day at a time)

Bridge
If I wake up again
That’s a win
That’s a win (hey!)
If my hands stop shaking
I’ll start breaking in
Tear down every nightmare
Nail ’em to the sky
If I’m going under
I’ll look it in the eye

Chorus
I sleep with the lights on
’Cause my dreams turn into knives
Little demons in the drywall
Spelling out my flaws at night
I sleep with the lights on
Just to prove I’m still alive
Living life on the edge
One day at a time (one day at a time)
