Still On
by Bill Leyden
About this track
A slow pass by a familiar place, noticing the light is still on and leaving it at that. He keeps driving, even when there’s room to turn in, letting the moment stay where it is. There’s a quiet understanding that going back would change something that doesn’t need changing. It’s not distance so much as choice—seeing it clearly and continuing on. lyrics [Title: Still On] [Verse 1] Drove past slow like I always do I know that’s your place now Light was on in the upstairs room You leave it on when you’re there Didn’t turn in, didn’t signal off Just kept drivin’ on past Someone moved in the corner light Might’ve been you [Chorus] Still on That’s all I know Didn’t need more than that Still on From the street Left it right where it’s at [Verse 2] Westbound lanes had a little give Not much to hold me back Radio low and I’ll leave it on There’s a place I could park Out by the side Had the wheel turned in already Passed it by [Chorus] Still on That’s all Nothing pulling me back Just a light through the glass [Bridge] Could’ve circled once or twice Would’ve found a place, big mistake Would’ve walked up like nothing changed Didn’t feel like fixing it Or seeing it through Some things don’t need a second look Once they do [Chorus] Still on That’s all Let it stay how it was [Tag] Still on Out of reach Didn’t mean it like it does
