lyrics

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
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
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
Let it go
‘Cause only you know where
You need to be
And only you can make it so
