Let A Little Light In

Home movies end to end
In the wee hours of the night
You finish one, you start again
But something isn't right

Where's the cereal-filled devil grin
And the bannister side?
Who could've taught him how to hide?

Open the curtains, and let a little light in
Let a little light in

So many wheels to ride
In our cul-de-sac sea
We were alive outside
We were students of movement, weren't we?

Another house, another car
It's an endless imitation
Of course we had to learn to race them

Open the curtains, and let a little light in
Let a little light in
Thirteen candles make a ring
For a name to flicker out

The man beside you to the right,
What's he got to smile about?
Overeager reds and greens
I remember bright blends
How and when did the sepia seep in?

Open the curtains, and let a little light in
Let a little light in

Home movies end to end
In the wee hours of the night
You finish one, you start again
But something isn't right

Where's the cereal-filled devil grin
And the bannister side?
Who could've taught him how to hide?

Open the curtains, and let a little light in
Let a little light in
Open the curtains, and let a little light in
Let a little light in
