Leave the Light On
Style: Jazz standard

[Verse 1]
The cap rolls off under yellow light
I let it lie there on the sink
Small mess you leave behind each night
Tells me more than words could think

[Pre-chorus]
I used to want the perfect scene
Now I just want the door to open
Want to hear you come in

[Chorus]
Maurice, you're no masterpiece
Just a mess I choose again
Every habit, every crease
Still the one I want to keep in

[Verse 2]
You leave your things across the room
Like you plan on staying long
Some folks pack up and go too soon
You just hum some easy song

[Chorus]
Maurice, you're no masterpiece
Just a mess I choose again
Every habit, every crease
Still the one I want to keep in

[Bridge]
No grand gesture, no big release
Just the porcelain, just the light
Just you, standing there, Maurice
Ordinary and exactly right

[Chorus]
Maurice, you're no masterpiece
Just a mess I choose again
Every habit, every crease
Still the one I want to keep in

[Outro]
I'll leave that light on if you need
Leave the cap right where it rolled
