Feel the underground breeze as the trains go by
Pushing through the crowd to see the sky around you
I blink as the green lights turn to red
And everybody on the street trying to get ahead surrounded

And when I lose myself in this raging sea
You're a beacon of light, you're the air I breathe

Oh, long night
I want you all to myself from now 'til the morning light
Maybe we could make a great escape
Run away like thieves and we'll lock the world away
Somewhere no one will ever find us on this long night, long night

I got a long ride home to think about things 
And the song that the man on the radio sings is so true
Reminds me of you
The way that you know just who I am when I don't say a word you still understand
It gets through, yeah, who knew

It's days like this when I crave you the most
Shivers down my spine when you're holding me close

Oh long night
I want you all to myself from now 'til the morning light
Maybe we could make a great escape
Run away like thieves and we'll lock the world away
Somewhere no one will ever find us on this long night, long night
