Lyrics
I could run
I could cry, I could bleed
I could say it's never gonna get any better and leave
I could throw my hands up
I could fall to my knees
I could tell myself I'm strong enough to get all the love that I need
But I still need you
To ease my load
Hold me when the lightning strikes
Lead me home
When I don't know which way is right
Love me when it's hard, I promise that I'm not
Leaving from outside
And when I fall apart, promise in the dark
You'll be my nightlight, ooh
You'll be my nightlight, ooh
Told me I shouldn't watch
Got in your car then we were nothing
All the nights in your room, shit we got through
Left in your dust, yeah
Don't know what you got, but I thought we had it
Now I'm supposed to act like it doesn't matter
But I'm writing it down, getting it out
Here's to me hoping
Some day I'll come home
And feel like no one's even gone
Play this at my shows
And know that I've been moving on
Some day I'll go to bed and I'll forget I'm lyin' in your spot
But until some day comes
I'll be writing sad songs
What do you want from me tonight?
You wanna burn down everything in sight
I'm not afraid of a little fire
So light your matches
And I will rise from the ashes
Ohh
From the ashes
Ohh
If I died in your arms, that's right where I'm supposed to be
You know I'm not afraid as long as you're next to me
So tell me, will you hold me when the curtains close?
If I died in your arms, that's right where I'm supposed to be
You'll be my nightlight
I'll be writing sad songs
I'll be writing sad songs
On the other side
'Cause that's all that really matters in the end
If I died in your arms, that's right where I'm supposed to be
Is love, love, love
Love, love, love
'Cause that's all that really matters in the end
I say that's my life
Ohh, you'll be my nightlight
If I died in your arms, that's right where I'm supposed to be (Ohh)
You'll be my nightlight, ooh
You'll be my nightlight, ooh
If I died in your arms, that's right where I'm supposed to be (You'll be my nightlight)
I could cry, I could bleed
I could say it's never gonna get any better and leave
I could throw my hands up
I could fall to my knees
I could tell myself I'm strong enough to get all the love that I need
But I still need you
To ease my load
Hold me when the lightning strikes
Lead me home
When I don't know which way is right
Love me when it's hard, I promise that I'm not
Leaving from outside
And when I fall apart, promise in the dark
You'll be my nightlight, ooh
You'll be my nightlight, ooh
Told me I shouldn't watch
Got in your car then we were nothing
All the nights in your room, shit we got through
