It was a beautiful night, but it was strange
I told you, "The stars are all that's left, now we can shine away"
You made me open my eye, it was three in the day
There was too much to see for the likes of me
Oh, won't you give me the night back?
I want the night back, oh, pretty please
Such a beautiful storm in the gateway that night
From the side door to the dorm, I howled away in the moonlight
A hush from your eyes, all you had to say
Got most of the air that was left in me
But I got the night back
Now I want the life back, oh, pretty, please
Like the sun all sunken here in my backyard
You were only getting better, then you just went dark
You'll be back come morning when the haze burns off
Oh, can't you see that it's a damn trap door?
And I ain't standing on it anymore
Like a tool used up until the fool said, "I gotta wise up"
Now it's time to wise up, up, up, up, up, up
Yeah, I gotta wise up, up, up, up, up, up
