Fifteen hundred miles away
I can’t get this pain to go away
I’m just trying to get through the day
Because it’s at night when I see your face
And I start to smile again
Cause it’s at night that I know
You’ll stay with me till I wake up
You’ll stay with me when I mess up
You won’t turn your back on me
You’re the only person I want to be
With tonight
Ohhh, good night (good night)

You say you miss me
But I’m not convinced
You say you love me
But I’m not impressed
It’s more of the same
In this silly little game
We call love
It ends around ten to three, and that is when
I see your face
And I start to smile again
Cause it’s at night that I know
You’ll stay with me till I wake up
You’ll stay with me when I mess up
You won’t turn your back on me
You’re the only person I want to be
With tonight
Ohhh, good night (good night)

The ones line up
I hold my breath
Make another wish that will never come true
All I’m asking for is to hold you
