Lyrics
You thought you were in love
With her bright eyes, with her skyline
You thought you were in love with all she is
Now you're reaching above
For her starshine, for her moon-sweet wine
Honey, I don't know how it's come to this
Cause you see an expanse and you want to close it
You're seeing a window where there's only a door
And I'm getting closer to you
There are lights inside my mind
I can see you, you're no stranger
You won't leave my head, you keep me breathing
I cannot sleep, I cannot dream
There are lights inside my mind
I can feel you standing under
Standing under
You think you're alone
Retrace your footsteps to your solace
You always think that you're alone
You're counting the hours
Precious days since you resurfaced
You think of all the things you own
But as days go by, you're trapped in motion
I will hold you tighter than she could
You belong to me now
There are lights inside my mind
I can see you, you're no stranger
You won't leave my head, you keep me breathing
I cannot sleep, I cannot dream
There are lights inside my mind
I can feel you standing under
Standing under
There are lights inside my mind
(I can see you, you're no stranger)
There are lights inside my mind
(I can see you, I can see you)
There are lights inside my mind
I can see you, you're no stranger
You won't leave my head, you keep me breathing
I cannot sleep, I cannot dream
There are lights inside my mind
I can feel you standing under
Standing under
