Better In The Dark Lyrics

'The city's nice tonight.' A casual remark

He said, 'Why should you be surprised?

Some things are better in the dark.'

And she just rolled her eyes

And put her window down

She swung her arm into the breeze

It pushed her hand around

And they both knew in their own way it was over

Up on The Boulevard

In towering hotels

It seems the whole world is on holiday

Pretending all is well

She wants a piece of it

He wants to tear it down

This tragic world of make-believe

Thin skin on empty ground

And they both knew in their own way it was over

He was hoping it'd work out

He went all in, no going back now

It looks like he's here to stay

She was hoping it'd work out

She went all in, no going back now

They both know it's not ok

It's not ok

In all the city lights

None of the stars show much

There are no constellations in the sky

The moon keeps lonely watch

And when he spoke again it was too low to catch

Oh but it didn't matter anyway

She didn't ask what he said

And they both knew in their own way it was over

He was hoping it'd work out

He went all in, no going back now

And it looks like he's here to stay

She was hoping it'd work out

She went all in, no going back now

It looks like she's here to stay

And they're not ok

'The city's nice tonight.' A casual remark

He said, 'Why should you be surprised?

Some things are better in the dark.'
