Your mother named you after someone bright 
and you play Lana on repeat at night  
You light me up, then you ghost in the dark
You shine so bright then you break like a spark

You’re Mr. Lightbulb, burning out slow  
Shadows in the night just don’t let me go  
You’re Mr. Lightbulb, flicker and fade
Just like my night light, can’t look away

I gave you names that never felt alright
A joke that I made that kept you up at night
You hide your thoughts, then you lock them away
I should have called you the right name that day

You’re Mr. Lightbulb, burning out slow  
Shadows in the night just don’t let me go  
You’re Mr. Lightbulb, flicker and fade
Just like my night light, can’t look away

Cuz im scared of the dark
And I can’t turn you off
Now your glow starts to fade
Please don’t leave me alone

Cuz im scared of the dark
And I can’t turn you off
Now your glow starts to fade
Please don’t leave me alone

Alone….

You chase a name that the whole world can see
The only one that you need was from me

You’re Mr. Lightbulb, burning out slow  
Shadows in the night just don’t let me go  
You’re Mr. Lightbulb, flicker and fade
Just like my night light, can’t look away

Mr. Lightbulb

SOMEONE NEW

The morning dew, settles on my old childhood windows 
The people I loved are now like rain that falls on towns I’ll never see
Oh so far away, from my city

When I walk in the rain, it reminds me of life in late december
reflections I see in puddles still shimmer with faces I once knew
And maybe loved…

When the morning comes and love fades away…
And I just miss them more everyday and
The world moves on, as it always knew and
The clouds move softly, revealing the blue and 
I gotta feeling my heart will find something true
cuz every tear that falls will one day be morning dew

—
The evening rain drifting through my half-open window
And somewhere a song I used to love is playing softly in the distance
Oh, it fades away, like a memory

I miss the sun but it’s been hiding in a shadow
The days flow on like rivers that turn to rain and fall again on me
rain on me, so gently 

I lift up my face to the falling rain
Let it pour right over me
Every drop feels like a touch I once knew
That’s how they come back to me

When the morning comes and love fades away…
And I just miss them more everyday and
The world moves on, as it always knew and
The clouds move softly, revealing the blue and 
I gotta feeling my heart will find something true
cuz every tear that falls will one day be morning dew

ooooh
ooooh

Morning Dew
