turn the lights down low

night falls heavy like an iron fist

the silence taut and frail

i weigh the depths of love and terror

in this test i cannot fail

'cause there's no map to guide the human heart

down roads we've never been

sometimes i feel i'm running blind but i'm trying

so turn the lights down low

let the night come easy

take my hand won't you let me in

'cause when the world comes crashing down inside your head

i'll be right here right here for you

words fall heavy out of tired mouths

resigned to rage and roar

i see behind your eyes the tempest rising

and i can't reach your shore

when all my good intentions fall apart

and i wind up on my knees

there's nothing gained from being right but i'm trying

so turn the lights down low

let the night come easy

take my hand won't you let me in

'cause when the world comes crashing down inside your head

i'll be right here

right here for you

so turn the lights down low

let the night come easy

take my hand won't you let me in

'cause when the world comes crashing down inside your head

i'll be right here

i'll be right here for you

take my hand won't you let me in

'cause when the world comes crashing down inside your head

i'll be right here

i'll be right here waiting

right here for you
