The people upstairs They sound like they're having a ball And I'm in my room Just trying to make sense of it all The night is still young But the light of the moon is old My river has run dry And I'm flat on the floor of my boat This is me In the night For an encore If you come Could you please bring the light That I long for Go ahead You decide Just know that I need it Yes I need it Sometimes the look on a face Says more than a book could And I can't help but read it And then I repeat it All in my head All my mistakes will turn into laughter For that's what I'm after, some laughter To smile my troubles away And watch how they fade Slowly they fade This is me In the night For an encore If you come Could you please bring the light That I long for Go ahead You decide Just know that I need it Yes I need it I'll wait, for the waves To come and wash away The dust on my skin I'll be clean again This is me In the night For an encore If you come Could you please bring the light That I long for Go ahead You decide Just know that I need it Yes I need it
