[Intro: All & Nick]
Leave a light, leave a light on
Leave a light, leave a light on
Leave a light, leave a light on
(Leave a light on)
Leave a light, leave a light on
Leave a light, leave a light on
Leave a light, leave a light on

[Verse 1: Nick]
It happened in a blink, blink, blink of a night
I guess it was the wrong, wrong side of goodbye
You caught me on the blind, blind, the blind side
You didn't even stop once to think twice

[Pre-Chorus: Nick & All]
Drove through the pouring rain
Weaved in and out of pain
Wanted to turn around (turn around)
Wish I'd have done it now

[Chorus: AJ with All, Brian]
I still remember how we left it that night
Said, "it was better we if both just move along"
But if you're telling me it's not the last time
I'll keep a light, I'll leave a light, light on
(Leave a light on)
I'll leave a light on (leave a light on)
A light on (leave a light on)
I'll leave a light on (leave a light on)

[Verse 2: Nick with Howie]
We didn't lose the beat, beat, beat in our hearts
After falling in so deep, so hard
So if you're running 'round, 'round, 'round in the dark
I found a way to reignite the spark

[Pre-Chorus: Nick with Howie, All]
Drove through the pouring rain
Weaved in and out of pain
Wanted to turn around (turn around)
Wish I'd have done it now

[Chorus: AJ with All, Brian]
I still remember how we left it that night
Said, "it was better we if both just move along"
But if you're telling me it's not the last time
I'll keep a light, I'll leave a light, light on
(Leave a light on)
I'll leave a light on (leave a light on)
A light on (leave a light on)
I'll leave a light on (leave a light on)

[Bridge: Kevin & Brian with Howie]
So if you ever feel the need
Jump in your car and just drive back to me
Wherever you are
I will always leave a light on...
So if you ever feel the need
Jump in your car and just drive back to me
Wherever you are
I will always leave a light on... (a light on)

[Break: AJ, Nick & All]
Leave a light, leave a light on
Leave a light, leave a light on
Leave a light, leave a light on
(I need you baby!)
Leave a light, leave a light on
Leave a light, leave a light on
Leave a light, leave a light on
Leave a light, leave a light on
Leave a light, leave a light on
Leave a light, leave a light on
(I'll leave a light on)

[Chorus: AJ with All, Brian]
I still remember how we left it that night
Said, "it was better we if both just move along"
But if you're telling me it's not the last time
I'll keep a light, I'll leave a light, light on
(Leave a light on)
I'll leave a light on (leave a light on)
A light on (leave a light on)
I'll leave a light on (leave a light on)

The Backstreet Boys are the most successful boy band in history, having sold over 130 million records worldwide, and with their first nine albums reaching the top 10 on the Billboard 200. Florida natives A. J. McLean, Howie Dorough, and Nick Carter, along with Kentucky transplant Kevin Richardson, were joined in a band once they attended Lou Pearlman’s auditions for a vocal group in 1992, with the group being completed by Kevin’s cousin Brian Litrell. Once took under the wing of Swedish producer Max Martin in 1995, the stage was set for global domination, attracting the lust of women and the anger of men. While the fad died down and Kevin even left for a while, the band never officially took a break or such.
