[Verse 1]
Have you been up late nights?
(It's okay, it's just been hard to sleep)
It seems so in your eyes
(It's just that work has been gettin' to me)
I heard about your beau
(He's not feeling well, but he's alright)
There something I can do?
(Well thanks for offering but I'll be fine)
[Chorus]
Everyone wants to feel safe in the dark
Everyone wants to feel safe in the dark
[Verse 2]
Have you been up late nights?
(Couldn't swallow, couldn't get to sleep)
I see it in your eyes
(It's just the sickness has been gettin' to me)
Well, what about your belle?
(Can you help her? Can you make the time?)
I'll do all I can do
(Just don't worry 'bout me, I'll be fine)
[Chorus]
Everyone wants to feel safe in the dark
Everyone wants to feel safe in the dark
Forces unseen pulling strings in your heart
Everyone wants to feel safe in the dark
[Verse 3]
Well, where are you guys, then?
(We're up north, just trynna beat the heat)
When are you coming home?
(I'm not sure I can make it back for weeks)
So, how are all your shows?
(Kelli called and said you're not alright)
You take care of you
(There's something bigger going on this time)
[Chorus]
Everyone wants to feel safe in the dark
Everyone wants to feel safe in the dark
Forces unseen pulling strings in your heart
Everyone wants to feel safe in the dark
Everyone wants to feel safe in the dark
Everyone wants to feel safe in the dark
Forces unseen pulling strings in your heart
Everyone wants to feel safe in the dark
[Outro]
Everyone wants
Everyone wants to feel safe in the dark
Everyone wants
Everyone wants to feel safe in the dark
