lyrics

Might has well have been another lifetime
The stories change but the meaning is the same
Could have been that they just love the nighttime
Cuz when daylight came none of them remained

This is your wildest dream come true
Although at time you can be quite confused
Where do you go after the show?
The night’s still young
Are you afraid of being alone
When you go home?
You can return to the fields anytime
Moments we shared
Crystalized in time
Close your eyes
And you’re there

I wish you could stay
But it’s time to go
Just one look and you’ll see
What you already know
So hard to define
So don’t even try
These are the very best
Times of your life
And it comes through so clearly
See the gleam in your eyes
On such an impossible evening
From the fall and the rise
Take care of the light
Don’t ever let it fade away

Might has well have been another lifetime
The stories change but the meaning is the same
Could have been that they just love the nighttime
Cuz when daylight came none of them remained
