Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Verse 3]

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

[Verse 4]

Now I only feel it when the lights go down

Feel it when the lights go down

Only get the feeling when the night rolls around

Feel it when the night rolls around

[Verse 5]

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

[Verse 6]

And the other night I walked by your place

Hoping by chance that I might see your face

Oh no, why did I think that would help?

[Verse 7]

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

[Verse 8]

Now I only feel it when the lights go down

Feel it when the lights go down

Only get the 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 the feeling when the night rolls around

Feel it when the night rolls around

[Verse 9]

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

[Verse 10]

Now I only feel it when the lights go down

I feel it when the lights go down

Only get the feeling when the night rolls around

Feel it when the night rolls around

[Verse 11]

Oh, I only feel it when the lights go down

Feel it when the lights go down

Only get the 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 the feeling when the night rolls around

Feel it when the night rolls around

[Verse 12]

When I wake in the night I'm reaching for you
