The night is quiet, but I'm wide awake
Even the wind keeps whispering
Where you headed this late
Wandering through these shadowed streets
Switching for warmth in every face I meet
Takes just one touch to pull me under
But by sunrise we're always gone like a fading wonder
Every breath pulls me deeper on another frame
And somebody ending always feels the same
Standing at the doorway of an empty room
Listening to the echo calling out my name
I've been carrying the night on my skin
Bodies passing by but none of them sinking
Yeah, they touch my numb for a little while
But the hollow in my chest never reconciled
Still, I'm running face to face to another
Hoping maybe one might stay
A stranger staring back inside the mirror
Tired eyes, the story getting blurrier and unclearer
I keep reaching out, trying to hold somebody near
But my heart always slips away before my arms get there
There's an ember burning quiet behind my gates
Buried in the space between the prayers I take Even when
Someone standing the gears away I still feel lost no way I
Been carrying the night on my skin Party passing by but none
Of them sinking Yeah they touched my numb for a little while
But the hollow in my chest never reconciles
Still, I'm running face to face to another
Hoping maybe one might stay
Maybe all of this is just a game I play to quiet down the noise
Even when a moment feels warm enough to lift me
The morning always comes to steal the joy
I've been carrying the night on my skin
Every step pulls me back where I've already been
A stranger's touch can trick you for a minute
But truth is colder when your heart's still in it the still
I'm running face to face to another
Hoping one might stay
Hoping one might stay
For real
Hoping one might stay
For real
