lyrics
You only text at half past two When all your better plans fall through My ceiling turns that lonely blue I hate how fast I answer you I swear I'm strong at nine o'clock I keep my phone face down But all my no's are drawn in chalk And rain is coming down Only in the dark, only in the dark You love me only in the dark I strike up like a paper match One little light, one little spark Only in the dark, only in the dark You blow me out, I keep the mark At noon you pass me on the street Your eyes slide off me like I'm glass By twelve you're typing "you asleep?" Like the whole day just never passed Two-oh-seven on the clock Your name is glowing on my floor I'm a door that's learned to lock You're a knock and nothing more Only in the dark, only in the dark No more, not even in the dark
