[Verse 1]
Well the lights go down in Brooklyn
As she's walking out the door
Oh, and they're lining up like soldiers
Going off to fight the war
And all the colors look like fireworks
In skies she knew before

[Chorus]
But the nights can't hide the days
Woah-oh, that the tears roll down her face
And the light hits those eyes
As she's dying to say
Just take me away

[Verse 2]
Well the fog that sits like blankets
And it's drowning out the glow
You can hear voices loud
And singing out a song nobody knows
But to her it sounds like home

[Chorus]
But the nights can't hide the days
Woah-oh, that the tears roll down her face
And the light hits those eyes
As she's dying to say
"Just take me away from all that I am
Just take me away from all that I am"
[Post-Chorus]
(Ohh-oh-oh)
(Ohh)
(Ohh-oh)

[Bridge]
Well the fog sits like blankets
And it smothers the glow

[Chorus]
'Cause the nights can't hide the days
Woah-oh, that the tears roll down her face
Oh, and the light hits those eyes
As she's dying to say
Oh, that the nights can't hide the days
That the tears roll down her face
And the light hits those eyes
As she's dying to say
"Just take me away from all that I am
Just take me away from all that I am
Just take me away from all that I am
Just take me away from all that I am"
