take me back to that night
when time was moving at the speed of light
when i was in a room
full of empty people
and empty glasses

where the music played so loud
i was happy , so happy to drown
into my mind

because the freckes of the night
they shine bright for all
but when the sun comes up they just wait for us to fall
back into the darkness of the light
but if you've gone down before the sun comes up
then shouldn't the night be just enough?

so take me back to that day
when you were moving
and you told me to stay
and i let the tears roll down my face
so i sat down and i thought
with a bottle in my hand
i guess i get to choose if i sit down or stand

so i sat and i sat
smoked another cigarette
and thought oh what a wreck i have made
out of nothing at all

because the freckes of the night
they shine bright for all
but when the sun comes up they just wait for us to fall
back into the darkness of the light
but if you've gone down before the sun comes up
then shouldn't the night be just enough?

so take me back to that night
when our spirits were in full flight
but not cause we found out the key
to be happy
but because we were told that's how it's supposed to be
in the darkness of night
under the stars shining so bright
we are supposed to be happy, oh so grand
not sobbing and screaming with pain in our hands

because the freckes of the night
they shine bright for all
but when the sun comes up they just wait for us to fall
back into the darkness of the light
but if you've gone down before the sun comes up
then shouldn't the night be just enough?
