Standing In The Dark

Sitting here wide awake
Thinking about when I last saw you
No you’re not far away
Close my eyes and I still see you
Lying here next to me
Wearing nothing but a smile
Gotta leave right away
Counting cracks along the pavement
To see you face to face
Thinking about the conversation
I know I’m not one to chase
I’ve never wanted nothing more
But as I walk up to your door
Standing in the dark
She’s dancing on the table
I’m looking through the glass
She’s someone else’s angel
It may sound stupid that I wanted you back
But I wanted you back, girl
And now I’m standing in the dark, dark, oh
Dark, dark, oh
All I want to do is hide
But I can’t stop myself from staring
Wishing his hands were mine
I can’t stop myself from caring
And as he turns down the lights
I’m feeling paralysed
And as he looks into her eyes
Oh, yeah, alright
Standing in the dark
She’s dancing on the table
I’m looking through the glass
She’s someone else’s angel
It may sound stupid that I wanted you back
But I wanted you back, girl
And now I’m standing in the dark, dark, oh
Dark, dark, oh
Dark, dark, oh, ooh
Standing in the dark
Standing in the dark
Standing in the dark
She's dancing on the table
I'm looking through the glass
She's someone else's angel
It may sound stupid that I wanted you back
But I wanted you back, girl
And now I'm standing in the dark, dark, oh
Dark, dark, oh
Dark, dark
She's someone else's angel
She's someone else's angel
