Children in the Dark is Tristam’s fourth single from his debut album, WLUWD.
It was played previously on a livestream in 2018 under a version with different instrumentation, which was nicknamed by fans “She’s Just Like Me.” An acoustic version was also performed on a livestream.
[Verse]
She's just like me
Little shady
Tired lately
She's a little bit crazy
She's just like me
Little shady
Been tired lately
She's a little bit crazy
She's just like me
[Pre-Chorus]
Driven by the ancient fire
Riding on the ocean waves
Looking for a lighthouse somewhere
She's just like me
Turning to the sunlight choir
Looking for the warmth she craves
Lost in the middle of nowhere
[Chorus]
If you can find my love, tell her I'm alive
I've been looking blind like a child in the dark
If you can find my love, tell her we can share my heart
Hold each other blind like children in the dark
[Post-Chorus]
We'll be blind
Like children in the dark
Children in the dark
Children in the dark
We'll be blind
Like children in the dark
Children in the dark
Children in the dark
[Bridge]
Like children in the dark
When they've wandered out too far
We'll wish we never left our home
Like children in the dark
We'll lay beneath the stars
At least we'll finally know that if we have to be
We don't have to be alone
[Verse]
She's just like me
Little shady
Tired lately
She's a little bit crazy
She's just like me
Little shady
Tired lately
She's a little bit crazy
She's just like me
[Pre-Chorus]
Driven by the ancient fire
Riding on the ocean waves
Looking for a lighthouse somewhere
She's just like me
Turning to the sunlight choir
Looking for the warmth she craves
Lost in the middle of nowhere
[Chorus]
If you can find my love, tell her I'm alive
I've been looking blind like a child in the dark
If you can find my love, tell her we can share my heart
Hold each other blind like children in the dark
[Post-Chorus]
We'll be blind
Like children in the dark
Children in the dark
Children in the dark
We'll be blind
Like children in the dark
Children in the dark
Children in the dark
[Outro]
We'll be lost at sea
We won't feel like we are incomplete
Finally come to realize our peace
Or maybe that's a little bit naïve
Was I led astray
Seeking treasure in a lonesome maze
Thinking love will come along someday?
