Maybe I could see you in the evening
You could be the only book I'm reading
I could give you everything you need and then more

Darling, don't go telling me I'm faking
I'm the one who's giving you this aching
Why'd you only want me when I'm leaving your door?

Woman, won't you tell me what you're thinking?
I give you the truth, you don't believe me
You don't even listen to my words anymore

While everybody else is sleeping
I go out into the evening

When the darkness comes I go out and run
The streets all night, just to satisfy
If you need someone, put your jacket on
Meet me outside, maybe we could find a place to hide

Lady, you're the only thing I'm seeing
If things are getting hazy, am I dreaming?
I don't know what's fantasy or real no more

I've been making stories, I've been waiting
All this time I know she's hesitating
I'll be sitting, wondering when you're coming home

Sun is going down, I throw a shirt on
Now's about the time I get my hurt on
My heart's beating as I head for the door

Right now, my thoughts harass me
And the only thing that can relax me
Is the sound of my running feet on the floor

While everybody else is sleeping
I go out into the evening

When the darkness comes I go out and run
The streets all night, just to satisfy
If you need someone, put your jacket on
Meet me outside, won't you come outside?
When the darkness comes I go out and run
The streets all night, just to satisfy
If you need someone, put your jacket on
Meet me outside, maybe we could find a place to hide

Woman, I know you don't know me
But I wish you could
Despite, the fact that so many think I'm crazy
I know we could be so good, so right
And you, you don't know me
But can't we just run into the night?

When the darkness comes I go out and run
The streets all night, just to satisfy
If you need someone, put your jacket on
Meet me outside, won't you come outside?
When the darkness comes I go out and run
The streets all night, just to satisfy
If you need someone, put your jacket on
Meet me outside, maybe we could find a place to hide
