Lyrics
Verse 1 (male — intimate, almost spoken)
Passed your street again
Didn’t slow
Curtains glowing
Amber gold
Almost turned my head
Let it go
Kept my footsteps
In the cold
Pre-Chorus
It don’t drag me under
Like before
But it knows my number
At the door
Chorus (wide, melodic)
The lights still on
Down your road
Someone lives there
I don’t know
I don’t need it
I still feel it
In the dark when I’m alone
Lights still on
I move on
You’re not mine now
But not gone
Post-Chorus (female echo hook)
Still on… still on…
(you left it on)
Verse 2 (female lead reply — softer but closer)
Heard your name tonight
Didn’t break
Just a flicker
In the wake
For a moment
I was there
Then it vanished
In the air
Pre-Chorus 2 (duet overlap)
Doesn’t pull me under
Like before
But it opens something
I ignore
Chorus 2 (lift)
The lights still on
Down your road
But it doesn’t
Take me home
I don’t hold you
I still know you
Like a song I can’t outgrow
Lights still on
Fade to dawn
Different life now
Same song
Bridge (drop — sparse pads, heartbeat kick)
Some rooms stay
In your bones
Even after
You move on
No return
No goodbye
Just a place
We survived
Final Chorus (biggest — both voices full)
The lights still on
Far behind
Rearview burning
In my eyes
Not forever
Not forgotten
Just a ghost I recognise
Lights still on
Night is gone
I can carry
And move on
Outro (almost whispered duet)
I don’t go back
I don’t erase
You’re just a light
I don’t chase
(still on…)
