When the Nights Get Long

What do you see

When you're lit up next to me

But you feel so far

And it's all so strange

That you never saw the change

You just felt something go missing in the dark

I wanna write you a letter

I wanna write you a song

I wanna make it better

I wanna write you a letter

I wanna write you a song

I wanna make it better

When the nights get long

When the nights get long

When the nights get long

A couple of words

Lit up on a screen

Yeah it's all just make believe

And from what I've heard

There's miles between

What we say and what we mean

I wanna write you a letter

I wanna write you a song

I wanna make it better

I wanna write you a letter

I wanna write you a song

I wanna make it better

When the nights get long

When the nights get long

When the nights get long

So I told myself if I'm given the chance

I won't hold back anymore

I'm not gonna keep it all in

Not gonna keep it all in

Then I close my eyes and try to hide

But all of a sudden

It's you and me in the middle of it all

I wanna write you a letter

I wanna write you a song

I wanna make it better

I wanna write you a letter

I wanna write you a song

I wanna make it better

So I wrote you a letter

I'll turn it into a song

Does it make it better

When the nights get long

When the nights get long

When the nights get long

When the nights get long

When the nights get long
