Leave The Light On

Leave the Light On ©2014 Words & Music by J. Cole

First door down on the right is where the evening grows
Fabric life guards the purple plastic castle rows
The bookshelf will hold
how not to grow old
And your neon glowing soul is sleepy.

Leave the light on as you go

Last chance thrives on the thought of missing out some more
5 more minutes is the compromise we bargain for.
Under the bed, the monsters have fled
from that neon glowing soul you carry

You leave the light on again, I trust you know until then..
Leave the light on as you go.

With closed eyes we’ll see
Darkness matters not to be
Should you wake too soon
May you see the light of the moon.
British invasion songwriting 101 with a psychedelic groove at the end. The song is about trying to get my kids to go to bed. Kind of metaphor of how to deal with the dark hours in our lives.
