When I was a kid I stared at the stars
From the corner of my own backyard
I stood still with starlit eyes
Beyond smooth and velvet skies
Laced up my shoes
Faced up the blue
All around and inside me
Only at night I felt great and alive
I wanted my fill of that wild thrill
That I would only get at night
I waited for the sun to go down
When I was a kid
I wanted to feel
Something real like
Run on nightfall
Run on nightfall
Run on nightfall
Run on nightfall
Once I was asleep I was sweating cold
Dreaming of breaking through that door
I had to escape those smothering walls
And give myself up to the nightfall
'Twas that kind of feeling
That got me spinning
In the vortex of the night
I waited for the sun to go down
When I was a kid
I wanted to feel
Something real like
Run on nightfall
Run on nightfall
Run on nightfall
Run on nightfall
When I was a kid
I wanted to feel
Something real like
Run on nightfall
Run on nightfall
Run on nightfall
Run on nightfall
