Standing In The Dark
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The needle on my compass must be busted or bent 'cause I can't walk straight
And I'm feelin' kinda beaten like the rusted out hinges on the backyard gate
Well, everybody lies too much
Hoping they can find true love
'Cause Hell is what we all go through
To try and find an angel like you
Woah-oh
Thank God you found me (found me)
Because I'm broken and handing you my heart
When the night is surrounding
Need your light around me
Or else I'm just standing in the dark
When the night is surrounding
Need your light around me
Or elsе I'm just standing in the dark
(Or else I'm just standing in thе dark)
My soul's got holes like a shotgun pattern on a highway sign
And the lady on the radio can stick this damn rain where the Sun don't shine
Well, everybody lies too much
Hoping they can find true love
'Cause Hell is what we all go through
To try and find an angel like you
Woah-oh
Thank God you found me (found me)
Because I'm broken and handing you my heart
When the night is surrounding
Need your light around me
Or else I'm just standing in the dark
Thank God you found me (found me)
Because I'm broken and handing you my heart
When the night is surrounding
Need your light around me
Or else I'm just standing in the dark
Or else I'm just standing in the dark
Or else I'm just standing in the dark
You turn to me as if to say
Your turn to breathe as the shadows drift away
You can't explain, you just let go
Of all the pain that the world will never know
You turn to me as if to say
Your turn to breathe as the shadows drift away
You can't explain, you just let go
Of all the pain that the world will never know
Thank God you found me (found me)
Because I'm broken and handing you my heart
When the night is surrounding
Need your light around me
Or else I'm just standing in the dark
Thank God you found me (found me)
Because I'm broken and handing you my heart
When the night is surrounding
Need your light around me
Or else I'm just standing in the dark
You turn to me as if to say (your turn to breathe)
Or else I'm just standing in the dark
You can't explain, you just let go (just let it go)
Or else I'm just standing in the dark
