The easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com
Sitting here wide awake Thinking about when I last saw you I know you're not far away Close my eyes and I still see you Lying here next to me Wearing nothing but a smile I gotta leave right away Counting cracks along the pavement To see you face to face Thinking about the conversation I know I'm not one to change I've never wanted nothing more But as I walk up to your door I'm standing in the dark She's dancing on the table Looking through the glass She's someone else's angel It may sound stupid that I'm wanting you back But I'm wanting you back, girl And now I'm standing in the dark dark Oh dark dark All I wanna do is hide But I can't stop myself from staring Wishing his hands were mine I can't stop myself from caring And as he turns down the lights I'm feeling paralysed And as he looks into her eyes I'm standing in the dark She's dancing on the table Looking through the glass She's someone else's angel It may sound stupid that I'm wanting you back But I'm wanting you back, girl And now I'm standing in the dark, dark Oh dark dark, oh dark dark, oh dark dark Standing in the dark I'm standing in the dark I'm standing in the dark She's dancing on the table Looking through the glass She's someone else's angel It may sound stupid that I'm wanting you back But I'm wanting you back, girl And now I'm standing in the dark dark Oh dark dark, oh dark dark She's someone else's angel She's someone else's angel
