[Verse 1]
I'll face my fear of the evening
Once I get used to this feeling
I can't sleep
That's when you're torn away from me
While I'm dreaming, I feel you leaving
[Verse 2]
I'll face my fear of the sunrise
When I wake up with your hand inside mine
It's hard to say "good morning"
When it's followed with "goodbye"
(Just wanted to say "goodnight")
[Chorus]
Our eyes fighting the light
But I'm not ready to say "goodnight"
Oh-woah, oh-woah, oh-oh
I try and hold on tight
'Cause it's just not time to say "goodnight"
Say "goodnight"
[Verse 3]
I'll face my fear of the cold nights
When you leave me behind
I felt your hands in my hair
I felt your breath on my neck
Yeah, I need to feel you again
(Just wanted to say "goodnight")
[Chorus]
Our eyes fighting the light
But I'm not ready to say "goodnight"
Oh-woah, oh-woah, oh-oh
I try and hold on tight
'Cause it's just not time to say "goodnight"
Say "goodnight"
[Bridge]
These eyes are closed again for yet another night
I wake up and I can feel you by my side
But I can't find you in the dark
When you're so far
Yeah, that's the hardest part
Here comes the hardest part
[Chorus]
Our eyes fighting the light
But I'm not ready to say "goodnight"
Oh-woah, oh-woah, oh-oh
I try and hold on tight
'Cause it's just not time to say "goodnight"
Say "goodnight"
Our eyes fighting the light
But I'm not ready to say "goodnight"
Oh-woah, oh-woah, oh-oh
I try and hold on tight
'Cause it's just not time to say "goodnight"
Say "goodnight"
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
I mean, in what world do I go to sleep after you
And wake up before you?
I don’t even know how it happens
Well, I hope you’re having sweet dreams, and
You call me when you wake up
