Lyrics:
I wait outside your house
And sing below your window
And I look for the light to show, I know
I know that it will come on, come on, come on
Come on soon
There might be a light
Somewhere in your mind
When you think of you and I
I wait for it to shine
I know it will come on, come on, come on
Come on soon
It will come on, come on soon
And it’s just the way things go
When you love someone and they don’t know
Sparks and hearts, they have to glow
They just glow, they just glow
You know they just come on, come on, come on, come on
They just come on, come on, come on
There is no delusion, to you I don’t exist
I am only shadow
Only a ghost can wait as long as I have for this
And I, I can’t wait much longer
‘Cause there might be a light
Somewhere in your mind
When you think of you and I
I know there will be a light
It might not burn very strong
But I know it’s coming on
It will come on, come on, come on

Behind the Song:
DAN HASELTINE: “‘There Might Be a Light’ is probably the most innocent song on the record. It's the “Say
Anything” moment: a romantic song about a guy trying to capture the heart of a girl. And it's a sweet, hopeful
song that plays against some of the harder moments on the record.
CHARLIE LOWELL: And it contains my favorite lyric on the record: “Sparks and hearts they have to glow /
They just glow, they just glow / You know they just come on, come on, come on…”
