strange sounds carry into the dark / they wash over you / time slows as you race through the night / it's been wild and confused // as you lie there restless in the dark / and all these troubles weigh on you / as you're losing sleep / tensed falling fast / and all these troubles weigh on you / what's lying await for you // go back to once what you love / we'll watch over you / you tell yourself you need something to unwind / to help you make it through the night // as you're lying there restless in the dark / and all these troubles weigh on you / as you're losing sleep / tensed falling fast / and all these troubles weigh on you / what keeps you awake at night / and goes under in your mind / is there something that you know you could never share / as the world around you falls apart / be the lighting in the dark / it will keep you safe and bid you back again
