These are currently unofficial lyrics, transcribed by the fans.

ROB:
We ought to leave a light on, leave a light on underneath the moon
Sitting in the sight of every eye, I believe in you
Open your window look out and see me
Slow I am coming a long way to be

NELLIE: 
An accidental light on, such as I am, by the lonely sun
Ever is the light on, is the light on, ever meant to run
Cold but I'm outside and waiting to see
Glow in the snow coming closer to me

BOTH:
Tonight I'm arriving alive and alight
Tonight all the black and the gray and the white
And I want to be like you are the one light
I want to see your eyes looking back and into mine

NELLIE:
Better when the light comes in the night time opening the door
Hoping to be right, it's open every night 
So whatcha waiting for?

BOTH:
Open your window look out and see me
Slow I am coming a long way to be

Tonight I'm arriving alive and alight
Tonight all the black and the gray and the white
And I want to be like you are the one light
I want to see your eyes looking back and into mine

ROB:
Something is real, maybe not
Something is gone
Something is here, only thought
All that you want 
Everything else will follow

BOTH:
Tonight I'm arriving alive and alight
Tonight all the black and the gray and the white
And I want to be like you are the one light
I want to see your eyes looking back and into mine

Demo Lyrics

We ought to leave a light on, leave a light on underneath the moon
Sitting in the sight of every eye, I believe in you
Open your window, look out and see me
Slow though I'm coming a long way to be

An accidental light on
Such as I am, mother's only son
Ever is the light on, is the light on
Ever meant to run

Cold out, you're outside I'm waiting to see
Glow in the snow coming closer to me

Tonight I'm arriving alive and alight
The left and the right is too gray in the night
And I want to be like you are the one bright
I want to see eyes

A-better when the light comes in the night I'm opening the door
Hoping to be right, it's open every night
So whatcha waiting for?

Open your window look out and see me
Slow though I'm coming a long way to be

Tonight I'm arriving alive and alight
The left and the right is too gray in the night
And I want to be like you are the one bright
I want to see eyes

Tonight I'm arriving alive and alight
The left and the right is too gray in the night
And I want to be like you are the one bright
I want to see eyes
