I watch the daylight surrender to the evening sky
Through the wire, beneath your voice, oh I could hear the cries
You're a tough one, but a lonesome night will kill the joys of day
It's a shame that I'm so far away, because I need to

Hold you close
(In the dead of night)
Be the one to break the silent streak
Hold you close
(In the dead of night)
Be a shoulder for the secret pain inside

I sent a picture and a lovesick note so far across the blue
I wait by the window - there's nothing else I could bring myself to do
Lost in the darkness, I feel my heart begin to break in two
Until the moment I hear back from you, because I need to

Hold you close
(In the dead of night)
Be the one to break the silent streak
Hold you close
(In the dead of night)
Be a shoulder for the secret pain inside

I miss the feeling of waking in the night to find your eyes
Like an angel, peering to my soul free of disguise
You're a tough one, but a lonesome night will kill the joys of day
It's a shame that I'm so far away, because I need to

Hold you close
(In the dead of night)
Be the one to break the silent streak
Hold you close
(In the dead of night)
Be a shoulder for the secret pain inside
Hold you close
(In the dead of night)
Be the one to break the silent streak
Hold you close
(In the dead of night)
Be a shoulder for the secret pain inside
