In the night outside by the river I lost my way Saw the girl I almost kissed the other day If the night had not been cold I swear I would have been more bold Only if the night was warmer I'd've stayed In the forest by the river where she ran To the edge of where the water meets the land When I saw her lying down I swear I couldn't make a sound It's a feeling that I'll never understand In the dark You can see Close your eyes And let it go 'Cause only you know where You need to be Yesterday I saw her walking in the street With her head down she was staring at her feet When her body hit the ground Oh there were people all around In her chest a heart that couldn't play a beat In the dark You can see Close your eyes And let it go 'Cause only you know where You need to be When I found her she was lying on the ground With her eyes closed no she couldn't make a sound When I took her by the hand Oh that was when her life began Fell the chains of which she always had been bound In the dark You can see Close your eyes And let it go 'Cause only you know where You need to be In the dark You can see Close your eyes And let it go 'Cause only you know where You need to be And only you can make it so
