[Intro]
(Instrumental - 4 bars)
[Verse 1 - Male Baritone]
I took the back road out of town | cold rain on the glass
I kept your last words on my phone | I did not reply
I passed the turn where we would stop | just to breathe it in
I said I’m fine to everyone | then I drove again
[Verse 1 - Female Mezzo Soprano]
I kept the porch light on for you | same time every night
Same cup upon the kitchen sink | same chair by the wall
Kettle boiled, then cooled down fast | I listened to the stairs
I heard your name inside the wind | and held my breath too long
[Pre Chorus - Both, soft]
We both got proud, we both got scared | we both got stuck on “right”
Say it out loud, say it right now | I choose you tonight
[Chorus - Female Lead, Male Harmony Below]
Two lights home, that is what we are | one in the window, one in the dark
If you get lost, follow my voice | I will not let you fall apart
No more silence in the same old room | no more leaving without the truth
Two lights home, side by side | hold my hand, we make it through
[Verse 2 - Female Mezzo Soprano]
I tried to laugh with strangers loud | still I missed your face
I walked the market, bought the bread | then I lost my pace
I watched the tide and counted steps | down the harbor lane
I wrote your name, then tore it up | then wrote it down again
[Verse 2 - Male Baritone]
I slept in cars and cheap motel rooms | I kept the TV low
I heard our song in every bar | then I had to go
I met my fear on empty roads | it sat beside my seat
I learned the truth, I want you back | not half, but all of me
[Pre Chorus - Both, bigger]
We both got tired of being tough | we both want peace to last
Say it out loud, say it right now | and leave the past in past
[Chorus - Both, strong]
Two lights home, that is what we are | one in the window, one in the dark
If you get lost, follow my voice | I will not let you fall apart
No more silence in the same old room | no more leaving without the truth
Two lights home, side by side | hold my hand, we make it through
[Bridge - Call and Response]
[Male]
Say it plain, I am here | I will not hide
[Female]
Say it slow, I stay near | I stand my ground
[Male]
I drop my armor at your door | I bring my hands
[Female]
I want the real, I want the now | I want your plans
[Both - Close Harmony]
We start again, we name the line | we keep it clean
If it hurts, we speak it fast | then we breathe, then breathe
[Final Chorus - Both, biggest]
Two lights home, that is what we are | one in the window, one in the dark
If you get lost, follow my voice | I will not let you fall apart
No more silence in the same old room | no more leaving without the truth
Two lights home, side by side | hold my hand, we make it through
[Outro - Both, soft]
Two lights home | we make it through
Two lights home | we make it through
