Every Window Glows

[Verse 1] Two hundred miles of black highway behind me Radio's playing something my mother used to hum Salt on the windshield, the wipers keep time And the exit sign says only seven more to come [Pre-Chorus] There's a bend in the road I could drive with my eyes shut Where the streetlights turn the snowbanks into gold [Chorus] And every window glows Down the whole crooked row Somebody left a light on, they knew I'd come home Frost on the glass but the kitchen's warm I made it, I made it before the morning Every window glows [Verse 2] There's a wreath on the door that we hung in '09 Half the needles gone but they never let it die Dad's boots on the porch, still two sizes too big And I swear I can smell the cinnamon from outside [Pre-Chorus] There's a shadow that moves past the curtain and waves Like she's been standing there counting the cars [Chorus] And every window glows Down the whole crooked row Somebody left a light on, they knew I'd come home Frost on the glass but the kitchen's warm I made it, I made it before the morning Every window glows [Bridge] I used to think home was a place you outgrow A door you'd forget how to open But the porch light's still burning the color it was And I'm ten years old the second I open it up [soft] Some things stay lit no matter how far you roam [Chorus] And every window glows Down the whole crooked row Somebody left a light on, they always did know Frost on the glass but the kitchen's warm [belted] I'm home, I'm home before the morning Every window glows [Outro] Every window, every window glows Keep the light on I'm already down the road
