Sara Bareilles - Ghost Light Lyrics

What if I leave the light on
So the dark has a friend
If the ghost light is burning
We'll invite something in
Let the dark free her secrets
That she keeps swallowing
Let her borrow my voice now
What if darkness could sing
What would the dark say if she could

What I wouldn't give if for just one night
I could shine so you'd see me
But all I've ever been is the absence of the light
I don't shine, no one sees me
So I want you, you, you
Want you, you, you
Want you, you, you
Want you, you, you

What if I leave the light on
So the darkness could speak
If the veil could be lifted
What if shadows were seen
Could they offer their wisdom
Would they feel some relief
Let them borrow my voice now
What if shadows could speak

What I wouldn't give if for just one night
I could shine so you would see me
But all I've ever been is the absence of the light
I don't shine, no one sees me
So I want you, you, you
Want you, you, you

What I wouldn't give if for just one night
I could shine so you would see me

What I wouldn't give if for just one night
I could shine so you would see me
