When The Sun Goes Down

Nights are cold and crazy
Knowing you will not come
Dear stranger - where are you tonight

If I wasn't me
I'd take you on my knees
I'd free you: and I'd be a child no more

But no one told me how
They knew it all along
They knew so easily
What I just could not see

What'll we do when the sun goes down
And we run to the sea and fall to the ground
And I look at you
You look at me
And there's nothing there to see
'Cept shades of what we used to be

Mirrors cannot see
What's breaking down in me
These shadows - I'm not afraid no more

Touch me
You will find I've held you
Down inside
Dear lover, please don't run no more

But if you can't keep me down
Maybe I'm the one you found
When you listen to me breathe
You see inside of me

What'll we do when the sun goes down
And we run to the sea and fall to the ground
And I look at you
You look at me
And there's nothing there to see
'Cept shades of what we used to be

When storms tore me apart
You told me:
See through your heart
Listen
These words they bleed from you

And I'll never know just how
You knew it all along
You knew so easily
The me I could not be

What'll we do when the sun goes down
And we run to the sea and fall to the ground
And I look at you
You look at me
And there's nothing there to see
'Cept shades of what we used to be
