NIGHTS LIKE THESE Lyrics
Benson Boone
Lyrics
Lights are low
My hands are cold
Against the wheel
You still have my coat
Eyes are lost in the fog
Without you here
I can't see the road
Now I'm standing at your door
And I hope that you're not home
So, I can get used to being alone
On nights like these
When my will power's weak
I'm gonna call, so just let it ring
I'll drive these streets
Don't come looking for me
If you're letting go
Then I'm gonna need
More nights like these
I fight the urge to write
The words up in my head
That I know I shouldn't send
(That I know I shouldn't send)
It's hard to heal when
I keep stealing glances at your picture
So I look away again
On nights like these
When my will power's weak
I'm gonna call, so just let it ring
I'll drive these streets
Don't come looking for me
If you're letting go
Then I'm gonna need
More nights like
You gotta let me drown
You gotta let me fall apart
Without you here to catch me
And if you're not around
I gotta learn to face the dark
Cause days turn into
Nights like these
Nights like these
Cause days turn into
Nights like these
When my will power's weak
I'm gonna call, so just let it ring
I'll drive these streets
Don't come looking for me
If you're letting go
Then I'm gonna need
More nights like these
Nights like these
