Alone in the dark Afraid of the light Can you just stay for half of the night? I really need it just to live inside these walls I'm one of those caught in between What I had said and what I could mean What is right and what I really think I want Your kisses like stars aren't for me, aren't for now They're for anyone who wants to take a look I'd give anything just to see, just to be under the sky When midnight comes unhooked [chorus] I need you here I want you bad I love the taste of your marinade So let me marinate Only once, never again Why don't we tell all of our friends? We keep it secret while we're lying in these threads Only once never again, that's what we said, I won't regret You treat me like you've always had me here Shadows hide the real me, the real you The poison keeps us numb from the truth I know that you sleep with a clear mind With my arm across your chest But when I'm with you, I'm not with you This malaise will never rest You rise from the depths with a bottle and a dress Just enough to make me guess, little preview I'm staring at the moon while you're doing what you do And you say you like it too but I can see through We're Romeo and Juliet mixed with booze and sugar sweat She says I'm not finished yet, from the gutter to a private jet Keys on a motel TV set, watching reruns to forget Choose the wrong fish in the net That's just what you're gonna get
