What do you see when you're lit up next to me But you feel so far? And it's all so strange that you never saw the change You just felt something, oh, missing in the dark [Pre-Chorus] I wanna write you a letter I wanna write you a song I wanna make it better I wanna write you a letter I wanna write you a song I wanna make it better For when the nights get long [Chorus] When the nights get long When the nights get long A couple of words lit up on a screen Yeah, it's all just make believe And from what I've heard, there's miles between What we say and what we mean [Pre-Chorus] [Chorus] So I told myself, if I'm given the chance, I won't hold back anymore I'm not gonna keep it all in, not gonna keep it all in And I close my eyes and try to hide, but all of a sudden It's you and me in the middle of it all [Pre-Chorus] So I wrote you a letter I turned it into a song Does that make it better For when the nights get long? [Chorus]
