Nighttime Lyrics - Singles - Ayer

She tripped and fell year after year 

before learning just how to overcome it 

For years she let them talk for her, 

they said that after all she was mourning 

Drown it out, break the rules 

It's a black tar road, but I'll be your shoes 

You're a star and they're missing you in the nighttime 

A girl who once wore evening gowns 

was now intent to wear a frown for showing 

Emotion, common sense aside, 

she chose to let the world revolve around her 

Drown it out, break the rules 

It's a black tar road, but I'll be your shoes 

You're a star and they're missing you in the nighttime 

When the nighttime falls into place 

You'll see a smile crawl on her face 

She's leaving now without a trace 

She's going where the music plays 

Drown it out, break the rules 

It's a black tar road, but I'll be your shoes 

You're a star and they're missing you in the nighttime
