When the night is young But it makes you feel much older And you're comatose Each waking hour of life When the days go by But the darkness lingers longer And before you know it Life is one long night But when I close my eyes I see you stand before me And if you take my hand I'll leave it all behind Because only you can set me free So hold me close just like the first time The flashing lights Illuminate your halo And my pounding heartbeat Thunders like a drum When we used to dance We'd never cast a shadow Cos there was only you and me When we were young But in this sea of scars The first cut is the deepest No matter where you are I'll always think of you Because only you can set me free So hold me close just like the first time And show me how it used to be Because only you can set me free
