Intro
Verse 1
I Saw Your Name The Other Day,
Written Underneath A Photograph.
You Were Standing By The Old School Gate,
Smiling Like You Always Had.
I Wondered If You Ever Think About
The Summers We Were Wasting Time,
Sitting On The Bonnet Of Your Car,
Watching Headlights Cross The Line.
Chorus
You Left The Light On In Your Window,
Even Though You Knew You'd Go.
Maybe Some Part Of You Was Hoping
We'd Still Be Here When You Got Home.
And I Don't Want You To Come Back
Just Because You're Missing Us.
I Just Wanted You To Know,
We Never Thought You Were Giving Up.
Verse 2
Your Mother Still Waves At My Mum,
They Talk About The Weather.
I Guess Some Things In This Little Town
Are Always Going To Stay Together.
The Pub Has Changed Its Name Again,
The Football Team's Still Losing.
And There's A Kid Who Drives Your Old Car
Like He's Got Nothing To Lose In.
Chorus
You Left The Light On In Your Window,
Even Though You Knew You'd Go.
Maybe Some Part Of You Was Hoping
We'd Still Be Here When You Got Home.
And I Don't Want You To Come Back
Just Because You're Missing Us.
I Just Wanted You To Know,
We Never Thought You Were Giving Up.
Bridge
Sometimes I Think About Leaving Too,
Just To See What I'd Become.
Maybe We're All Supposed To Lose
A Little Bit Of Where We're From.
But If You Ever Find Yourself
Standing Somewhere You Don't Know,
Don't Mistake The Road Behind You
For Somewhere You Should Go.
Chorus
You Left The Light On In Your Window,
And I Think I Understand It Now.
You Weren't Running From The People,
You Were Trying To Find Yourself Somehow.
So Go And Find Whatever's Waiting,
Let The Years Take What They Must.
And If You Ever Think About Us,
Think Of Us Without The Dust.
'Cause I Don't Want You Back Here,
I Just Want You To Be Alright.
And If You Ever Need A Friend,
You Know Where I Am Tonight.
