[Verse 1]
I know it’s getting dark outside
The stars are gone tonight
And with them all my pride

I see your shadows on the wall
But lover’s voice still calls
And echoes through the halls
But you’re not here

[Chorus]
I keep leaving the lights on for you
Every night since you’ve been gone
I keep leaving the lights on
‘Cause I know you’re coming home
I’ve been keeping this fire going
Every night since you’ve been gone
Feel it burn but I’ve never been colder
When are you coming home

[Verse 2]
I tried, I tried to fall asleep
The phone right next to me
You called me in my dreams
Your voice was sweet
But still too real for me

[Chorus]
I keep leaving the lights on for you
Every night since you’ve been gone
I keep leaving the lights on
‘Cause I know you’re coming home
I’ve been keeping this fire going
Every night since you’ve been gone
Feel it burn but I’ve never been colder
When are you coming home
When are you coming home

[Bridge]
I stumble through the dark alone
Without you
I hear your voice but it’s too real

[Chorus]
I keep leaving the lights on for you
Every night since you’ve been gone
I keep leaving the lights on
‘Cause I know you’re coming home
I’ve been keeping this fire going
Every night since you’ve been gone
Feel it burn but I’ve never been colder
When are you coming home
When are you coming home
When are you coming home

The Goo Goo Dolls

The Goo Goo Dolls are an American rock band formed in 1986 in Buffalo, NY, during one of Buffalo’s most prolific underground music phases. The band was formed by John Rzeznik (Also known as Johnny Rzeznik), lead singer and songwriter for the band, with bassist/vocalist Robby Takac, and drummer George Tutuska. Mike Malinin later replaced Tutuska as the band’s drummer.

The band has released twelve studio albums between 1986 and 2017, but they are best known for platinum-selling A Boy Named Goo (1995) and Dizzy Up the Girl (1998). These mid- to late 1990s albums contain the Goo Goo Dolls' biggest hits to date – Name and Iris most notably, but also Slide, Black Balloon, and Dizzy

These hits made the Goo Goo Dolls a household name for radio-friendly “prom night power balladry” (as one Rolling Stone review put it), but the band’s early output was often far rougher musically, melding the band’s edgier punk influences with an often soft sensibility in the mold of the band’s early heroes, The Replacements. One can hear these influences on many songs on A Boy Named Goo though these affinities would fade after Dizzy Up the Girl.
