**Lyrics: Keeping the Light On by NSN - Nerve Storm Now**
The pink slip landed quiet on the counter by the mail
Said they downsized, reorganized, and your position failed
You just sat there starin' at it, didn't say a word to me
Didn't seem to notice when I poured your afternoon iced tea
Now the sun goes down at four o'clock, the house feels dark and strange
You're on the couch just clickin' channels, ain't much gonna change
Little Timmy drew a picture, asked if Daddy saw his art
You just mumbled somethin' 'bout bein' tired, nearly broke my heart
But somebody's gotta keep the porch light on
Keep the pantry stocked, keep the TV tone
Down low so he can sleep, while I hum our happy song
Yeah, somebody's gotta keep the porch light on
The bills piled up like mountains, higher every day
Your energy just drained right out, you had less and less to say
Tried to ask you 'bout the future, make a little plan
You just sighed and changed the subject, slipped right through my hand
Timmy's learning how to ride his bike, I'm running right behind
He asks why Daddy never watches, says he doesn't mind
But I see him lookin' over, hopin' you might peek
While you're lost inside your quiet storm, silent, distant, weak
But somebody's gotta keep the porch light on
Keep the wheels turnin' till the morning sun
Breaks through the gray sky, help him see where he belongs
Yeah, somebody's gotta keep the porch light on
I know you're hurtin' deep inside, a different kind of pain
Feels like I'm living side-by-side with sunshine and the rain
One half is here, the other faded, barely hangin' 'round
Gotta find the strength to pull you up before you hit the ground
'Cause somebody's gotta keep the porch light on
Keep the hope burnin' from dusk till dawn
For the boy who needs his father, strong where he was wrong
And for the life we built together, gotta keep the porch light on
Yeah, I gotta keep the porch light on
