You live by night and waste the day
You give yourself, you give yourself away
I know that when you started you liked the way you felt
And yes, I understand you but to everybody else

It's black and white, to you a trail
You know I love you anyway
But it seems to me, you're living on the run
But I hope you know you're not the only one
Who lives by night, lives by night
'Cause we're only tryin' to chase away the sun

And when you play the way you do
The sun don't shine and said wait for you
And you say you don't accuse it but baby, I can tell
We both know why we shoot things but to everybody else

It's black and white, it's night and day
You know I'll love you anyway
But it seems to me you're living on the run
But now you know you're not the only one
Who lives by night, lives by night
'Cause we're only tryin' to chase away the sun

We, we were so intimate and you, you were so into it
But they, they pulled you in and now that they're gone
We're only trying to work at what went wrong

You live by night, live by night
But you're only trying to chase away the sun
