When I wake in the night I'm reaching for you
There's a place in my dreams where you're still in the room
And you're next to me somehow
There are times when I sleep on your side of the bed
Now since you've been away it's as close as I get
Oh well, I should've learned by now
Morning light
Every now and then I start to feel alright
Days are going by, I know I'll heal in time
Never thought I'd be scared of the dark
Now I only feel it when the lights go down
Feel it when the lights go down
Only get that feeling when the night rolls around
Feel it when the night rolls around
There are times I get drunk when I'm all by myself
Cause it helps me forget you're with somebody else
Well, it don't really work that well
And the other night I walked by your place
Hoping by chance that I might see your face
Oh now why did I think that would help
Morning light
Every now and then I start to feel alright
Days are going by, I know I'll heal in time
Never thought I'd be scared of the dark
Now I only feel it when the lights go down
Feel it when the lights go down
Only get that feeling when the night rolls around
Feel it when the night rolls around
Oh I only feel it when the lights go down
Feel it when the lights go down
Only get that feeling when the night rolls around
Feel it when the night rolls around
I'll pray for light
Four in the morning I don't feel alright
Nights are growing long, I hope I heal in time
Never thought I'd be scared of the dark
Now I only feel it when the lights go down
I feel it when the lights go down
Only get that feeling when the night rolls around
Feel it when the night rolls around
Oh I only feel it when the lights go down
Feel it when the lights go down
Only get that feeling when the night rolls around
Feel it when the night rolls around
Oh I only feel it when the lights go down
Feel it when the lights go down
Only get that feeling when the night rolls around
Feel it when the night rolls around
When I wake in the night I'm reaching for you
