oh pretty please?
starlight that hides,
under your wing
be all we can be,
i think i would like,
your light beside me
where have i gone wrong?
why can i not see?
oh Nightlight Kid,
keep the night bright please
and all that you bring,
i know that i hide,
from what you don’t see
when you’re just a dream,
i know that you try,
and keep the darkness from me
why does it take so long?
for you and i
why does it take so long?
just to fall asleep
oh Nightlight Kid,
keep the night bright please
oh Nightlight Kid…
is my best of friends ↓ who love you dearly
when i will end ↓ their pain or yours?
please don’t come any closer ↓ i will never let you go
Arrows in my life ↓ a life worth living
i can’t decide ↓ yes–you can
why ↓ this is why
don’t you know ↓ all sorts of darkness
all these doors i’ve closed ↓ then turn the lights on
this one’s called home ↓ and home is where the heart is
can’t decide ↓ then allow me
how to live my life ↓ in… 5… 4… 3… 2…
it’s what you give to us
all the people that you touch
to watch it fall again,
the pain you feel inside is nil to what you’ll leave behind
for everybody else,
but most importantly is that YOU OWE IT TO YOURSELF,
to find a reason why,
to keep us in your life
just my life ↓ …when you feel like no one’s home
no ↓ …i know you try your best
it never was ↓ …just lay down on my chest
it’s not for you to ↓ …and listen to my heartbeat
decide ↓ …and listen to my heartbeat
…just listen to my heartbeat (bite)
…just listen to my heartbeat
…just listen to my heartbeat (bite)
…just listen to my heartbeat
…just listen to my heartbeat (bite)
…just listen to my heartbeat

kiss in the moonlight my hands aspiring,
’cause in the moonlight i feel water,
rushing though my hands–are sprung
why every time i break free,
you drag me down,
just to fool around
sparkle in moonlight,
anything but August,
you’re anything but honest
shying tracks run down your hair,
open fields when the wind blows in,
green light in the air,
and my old train rushing by
i still feel warm
Now won’t you please, (and maybe this time)
Sing your song for me, (feel again)
it’s often to the start
until you found that place
that’s kept within your heart
it’s the reason that you want
it is reason that you need right now
it’s the reason that will haunt…
and it will feel like home
the only thought you brought with you
was how to be alone
and swallow you inside
the hardest part was writing down
this mess inside your mind
just think back to the start
and don’t forget that reason why–
love, fear, and sorrow
will you still be there
today, tomorrow
blood, steel, and marrow
will you still be there
my hope and arrow
what we defend
i don’t heal the same
these days
that there’s no end
but we don’t choose what we feel
these days
love, fear, and sorrow
will you still be there
today, tomorrow
blood, steel, and marrow
will you be my
hope and arrow
what we defend
i don’t heal the same
as i used to
that there’s no end
but we don’t feel
what we choose to
my hope and arrow
hope and arrow
by my side
my hope and arrow
you stay by my side–
