oh the reason the night is long
is very simple
oh i miss you when i'm at work
oh and i miss you when we fight and you leave
honey i confess i stole your heart
and honey i confess that it was criminal
but i've been captured, i'm paralyzed
and i've been disarmed by your charm

oh the reason the night is long is very simple
i imagine, tonight, that we can get along
that nothing i can do with you is wrong, tonight

but if i'm careful at sunset
if i'm mindful at dawn
clouded minds up north could
sometimes produce rain and lightning

if it's ok to touch you,
it's alright to think "electricity"
maybe it hasn't been so long
maybe this dim time is just twilight
