[:] (Ooh, yeah...)

[[B1]]
[:] I found that old Polaroid of us today,
[:] Tucked inside a book I haven't read in years.
[:] We used to laugh until we didn't know what to say,
[:] Now there's nothing but the static of the passing spheres.
[:] I know we both went walking down our separate roads,
[:] And life got heavy with the things we had to hold.
[:] But I'm still here, and I'm still holding on,
[:] To the ghost of the connection that we thought was gone.
[[C2]]
[:] So leave the hall light on, just in case you find!
[:] Your way back to the bridge we left behind!
[:] It doesn't matter how much time has passed or where we've been!
[:] I want to find my way back to my oldest friend!
[:] Leave the hall light on, let it guide you through the dark!
[:] We can find that old familiar spark!
[:] The door is always open, the key is where it's always been!
[:] I'm waiting for you to come home again!
[[B3]]
[:] Remember how we said we'd never let this fade?
[:] We were young and fearless, or so we liked to think.
[:] But the world is wider than the plans that we both made,
[:] And we didn't see the edges of the missing link.
[:] I missed the birthdays, the victories, the quiet tears,
[:] I missed the person you became throughout the years.
[:] But it's not too late to turn the pages back,
[:] To find the color where the picture went to black.

[:] So leave the hall light on, just in case you find!
[:] Your way back to the bridge we left behind!
[:] It doesn't matter how much time has passed or where we've been!
[:] I want to find my way back to my oldest friend!
[:] Leave the hall light on, let it guide you through the dark!
[:] We can find that old familiar spark!
[:] The door is always open, the key is where it's always been!
[:] I'm waiting for you to come home again!

[:] Leave it on... just for me...
[:] (Just for me...)
[:] I'm still waiting, friend.
[:] Come on home.
[:] (Mmm, yeah...)
