When the Nights Get Long

[Verse 1]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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
For when the nights get long

[Chorus]
When the nights get long
When the nights get long

[Verse 2]
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

[Pre-Chorus]
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
For when the nights get long

[Chorus]
When the nights get long
When the nights get long
When the nights get long

[Bridge]
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
And I close my eyes and try to hide, but all of a sudden
It's you and me in the middle of it all

[Pre-Chorus]
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

[Outro]
So I wrote you a letter
I turned it into a song
Does that make it better
For 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
