I'm looking down 
So come help me up 
And stumbling around 
Trying to fill my cup 
It's half empty 
Been that way all my life 
So come pour some in 
And take me out tonight 

The sun is shining but we stay inside 
Oh but we go out at night 
We stay in looking for a better life 
Oh but we go out at night 
We put up curtains, block out the light 
Oh but we go out at night 
And we stay in bed until we feel all right 
Oh but we go out at night 

I need meaning 
I need a mission 
I need a path 
I need conviction 
I need a life I've never had 
I need much more good and much less bad 

The sun is shining but we stay inside 
Oh but we go out at night 
We stay in looking for a better life 
Oh but we go out at night 
Oh but we go out at night 
And we stay in bed until we feel all right 
Oh but we go out at night 

I found meaning 
I found a mission 
I found a lord 
I found religion 
I found something I never had 
I'm not sure what but it's not half bad 
And I'm glad 
I'm so, so glad 
Those party habits are gone & dead 
I'm turning in my old sinful ways 
For a dull new life so I can pray, pray, pray 

The sun is shining but we stay inside 
Oh but we go out at night 
We stay in looking for a better life 
Oh but we go out at night 
We put up curtains, block out the light 
Oh but we go out at night 
And we stay in bed until we feel all right 
Oh but we go out at night 

I need a life 
I've never had 
I need so much more good, lord 
And much less bad
