lyrics

a night light's on in the bathroom
and i'm staring at the glow from under the door
i've got your coat under my head
and i think i see your shadow on the floor

but it's too dark for that now
it's too dark for that now
my eyes are wide open
but it's too dark for that now

he's up in the night pacing
and he thinks i'm dead asleep
i'm counting the minutes down
'til he finally goes to sleep

but it's too light for that now
it's too light for that now
my eyes are closed tightly
but it's too light for that now

in the car, i think i hear you
talking in the backseat
and i think 'i forgive you'
as we drive off through another city

but it's too late for that now
it's too late for that now
my eyes are stinging
and it's too late for that now

i've got a glimmer of hope
that i thought had burnt out
and a hand reaching out through
all my shadows of doubt

but i'm too scared for that now
i'm too scared for that now
my eyes are glazing over
but i'm too scared for that now

a night light's on...
but i'm too old for that now
