Tell myself i must've been dreaming
You know looks can be so deceiving
Ooh - But i swear,it was you lying there
In the darkness
Stand in the light,when it don't come easy
Stand in the light,where the tough don't go
Can you see it,feel it,close enough to taste it
Can you see it,feel it,close enough to taste it
It's gonna get you,it's gonna get me too
Nah,nah,nah,there's nothing you can go
It's a shock to the system
When you see yourself drifting away
When you're in this condition,
you need your religion
It's a shock to the system
Stop - don't follow me to the other side
Stop - don't call on me when you realize
I'm here,you're there
Another world stands between us
Stand in the light,when it don't come easy
Stand in the light,where the tough don't go
Can you see it
Can you feel it
It's gonna get you,it's gonna get me too
Nah,nah,nah,there's nothing you can do
