now you look for love in a time of hate, how many swipes for a blow of fate
you keep the light on, you keep the light on, you keep the night light on
every day is like the same old song, until everything right goes wrong
you keep the light on, you keep the light on, you keep the night light on
hold your broken dream up high, you know you try
oh you know you try, it’s the worst case scenario lullaby

and then the rent is just a little too late, ain’t gonna be no birthday cake
you keep the light on, you keep the light on, you keep the night light on
hold your broken dream up high, you know you try
oh you know you try, it’s the worst case scenario lullaby

even if the cops come and knock on your door, and the pills spill out on the floor
you keep the light on, you keep the light on, you keep the night light on
hold your broken dream up high, you know you try
oh you know you try, it’s the worst case scenario lullaby

something’s gotta change, something’s gotta change
hold on, hold on, hold on to something good
something’s gotta change, something’s gotta change
hold on, hold on, hold on to something good

try to sooth yourself to sleep my dear, you know this whole mess is born from fear
you keep the light on, you keep the light on, keep the night light on
keep the light on, the light on, the night light on
