Pictures, Stars and Dreams

I have had Jennifer on my mind for quite some time and finally woke up this morning (for the first time in a few weeks) with no nostalgia for the past. I was listening to the radio online and this song came on. It reminded me of exactly what her and I talked about with her just wanting "to be friends" when she decided to leave. I guess I have never turned the lights off yet.

I told you I'd leave a light on
In case you ever wanted to come back home
You smiled and said you appreciate the gesture
I took your every word to heart
'Cause I can't stand us being apart
And just to show how much I really miss ya

Every light in the house is on
The backyard's bright as the crack of dawn
Thr front walk looks like runway lights
It's kinda like noon in the dead of night
Every light in the house is on
Just in case you ever do get tired of being gone
Every light in the house is on

If I should ever start forgetting
I'll turn the lights off one by one
So you can see that I agree it's over
But until then I want you to know
If you look south, you'll see a glow
That's me waiting at home each night to hold ya

Every light in the house is on
The backyard's bright as the crack of dawn
Thr front walk looks like runway lights
It's kinda like noon in the dead of night
Every light in the house is on
Just in case you ever do get tired of being gone
Every light in the house is on

-Trace Adkins "Every Light in the House"
