Night Lights Our Eyes

I control my temptation as she writes her name in my mind
She laughs at the story I tell
My heart starts to swell
I feel compelled to stand beside her
But I can only go so far
There is no sun to light our way
There is no clarity of day
But with our words, we find a way to be together
Night lights our eyes
I defy expectation as I keep my distance from her
But I have nowhere to go
And I’m feeling alone
It’s a shame not to show up just to see her
But I can only go so far
There is no sun to light our way
There is no clarity of day
But with our words, we find a way to be together
Night lights our eyes
Tonight we’re giving up on sleep to see the morning come
