I Had You in the Night

I had you in the night

I had you in a foreign summer

We had no eyes but for each other

The lightning on our skin

The fever we were in

Yeah, we were burning bright

And burning with a fearless hunger

And dizzy from the spell we were under

The way the southern air

Was blowing through our hair

And I was waiting for you

To hear it in the whispering

All I'm singing to you

You didn't seem to hear a thing

But I could never ignore it

Ever stumbling towards it

No, I could never ignore it

The dream of you and I

The feeling of the lie, yeah

I was helpless before it

Ever reaching out towards it

See, I was dreaming

But I won't dream anymore

I won't dream anymore

I won't dream anymore

Those midnights all at sea

Mid corridors of cloud and thunder

Illuminating pathways under

The beauty in the way

We didn't know the way

And after all the wine

We're standing in the faded moonlight

I held my breath, you held me all night

The words you knew to say

You always had a way

And I was waiting for you

'Cause even though you say those things

Wouldn't know it was true

'Cause sometimes we just say those things

But I could never ignore it

Ever stumbling towards it

No, I could never ignore it

The dream of you and I

The fever of the lie, yeah

I was helpless before it

Ever reaching out towards it

See, I was dreaming

But I won't dream anymore

I won't dream anymore

I won't dream anymore

So many restless mornings

So many unheeded warnings

But I came to like

Breathing the lie

I knew we'd reach the ending

But we'll just keep pretending

So bring back the night

Breathe in the lie

I could never ignore it

Ever stumbling towards it

No, I could never ignore it

The dream of you and I

I'm drowning in the lie

I was helpless before it

Ever reaching out towards it

See, I was dreaming

But I won't dream anymore

I won't dream anymore

I won't dream anymore
