When The Nights Get Long

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 go missing in the dark

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
When the nights get long
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

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
When the nights get long
When the nights get long
When the nights get long

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
Then I close my eyes and try to hide
But all of a sudden
It's you and me in the middle of it all

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

So I wrote you a letter
I'll turn it into a song
Does it make it better
When the nights get long
When the nights get long
When the nights get long
When the nights get long
When the nights get long
