I wish that I could stop these night thoughts
It gets so dark, yeah, when the sun's gone
Won't somebody turn the lights on?
Oh, so I can stop these night thoughts-these night thoughts, mmm
Don't know what's going on in my head
It's like the moment that I hit the bed
I'm under covers, but feel naked
Like my mind's not protected
Crying out for some sweet relief, but why's this gotta happen to me?
'Cause I wish that I could stop these night thoughts
It gets so dark, yeah, when the sun's gone
Won't somebody turn the lights on?
Oh, so I can stop these night thoughts-these night thoughts, mmm
I know that I can't be the only one
Feeling a little mentally undone
It's not an "if" but "when" the shadows come
At least I know where I need to run
I'm praying now for some sweet relief
Oh, Father, won't you please comfort me?
I wish that I could stop these night thoughts
It gets so dark, yeah, when the sun's gone
Won't somebody turn the lights on?
Oh, so I can stop these night thoughts-these night thoughts
Like just this once please shut my brain off
I'm losing more than sleep-my mind is gone
I'm barely holding on 'til the dawn comes so I can stop these nights thoughts, these night thoughts ooohh
Night thoughts, night thoughts ooohhh
Night thoughts, night thoughts ooohhh
Night thoughts, night thoughts ooohhhhh these night thoughts
